Hobo Eclairs
Welcome to the EAD Living blog! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed and visit our sister site, EAD Weddings. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!
I feel most privileged and honored to have been let in on the best-kept camping secret ever by a new friend of ours, and I’m so excited to share it with you now. Allow me to introduce…hobo eclairs!
So you take a broomstick (clean and unpainted, of course) and rub the end of it generously with a stick of butter. Then take a square of Pillsbury crescent dough (2 perforated triangles together) and wrap it around the end of the broomstick, making sure that the end is sealed. Roast it slowly over the campfire until it’s puffy and golden brown. Make sure you don’t get engrossed in conversation and let it burn!
Once it’s cooked, let it cool for a minute or so, then slide the cooked dough off the stick. Squirt a healthy dose of whipped cream inside, then drizzle (on top or inside) with chocolate syrup.
Brilliant, right?

Truly brilliant!!!
Any idea how this stroke of brilliance could be achieved sans campfire? We don’t live in a very open fire friendly place :(
Love it!
Thanks everyone!
@Lauren The only other thing I can think of is to cook it over a gas stove. Also, baking them in an oven according to package directions won’t be as fun, but you might still achieve the eclair effect :) Good luck!
