Optional: For a more delicious adventure, try this revised recipe:

Required Items:- Refrigerated breadstick dough (such as Pillsbury)- Whipped cream (heavy cream or store-bought topping)- Chocolate sauce (or homemade drizzle)- Non-stick cooking spray

Recipe:

1. Remove your breadstick dough from the refrigerator, letting it warm to room temperature slightly for easier rolling.
2. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
3. Cut long, thin rectangles from the dough, resembling eclair shapes and about 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
4. Preheat a pie iron or similar campfire cooking tool over the flames for around 2 minutes. Grease the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Place a dough rectangle in the hot pie iron, closing it gently. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Carefully flip to cook the other side, then repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
6. Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, or thaw the store-bought topping according to package instructions.
7. Once the pastry is cooled slightly, slice it lengthwise to create a hollow interior. Fill each pastry with whipped cream using a piping bag or ziplock with corner cut off.
8. Drizzle the top of the filled eclairs with chocolate sauce or warm the sauce for easier drizzling.
9. Serve and enjoy!
