Dough Boys.

Dough Boys are an old Brunson family summer tradition- a dessert-like treat you roast over the fire along the same lines as s'mores or banana boats. They are so yummylicious, and now a spreading Milwaukee trend. Here's the breakdown:

First you need a dough-boy stick. You cannot buy them (that I know of) but they are easy to make out of dowels from the hardware store. You need about three feet of 1/2" dowel and 6 inches of 1 1/2" dowel (about closet rod diameter) from the hardware store. Drill a half inch hole in thicker dowel and insert the long 1/2" dowel in the hole, and voila! Dough boy stick.


Next, you need supplies:
Butter, to grease the stick
Canned biscuit dough

and

stuff to put inside: pudding, marshmallows, fruit pie filling, whipped cream, jam, NUTELLA (yum), anything else you can think of.



Next, you grease the top of the dough boy stick with butter and spread biscuit dough over it, creating a cup or cone. And then you roast.







After the biscuit is golden brown, slide off the cup and fill it with whatever toppings you want. My favorite is nutella, raspberry pie filling, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. yum.



Here is the result:
