Russic's foil orange idea is kinda interesting. I was taught a variation of this but for s'mores which I do regularly for fire pits and BBQ, but I haven't done it camping yet.
- Get an ice cream cone, put mini marsh mellows and chunks of chocolate into the cone. For extra "depth", consider using Skor or Caramilk for the chocolate. Wrap in foil and toss by fire/bbq grate. Ready when inside is melted to desired level.
Don't use gigantic marsh mellows. I made that mistake (or success?). It expands and pushes everything else out. Basically turns into a bizarre cross between creme brule and soft serve. I didn't like it, but the kids did (probably because sugar).
It's less messy than traditional s'mores because the foil helps to keep sticky stuff off your hands. Also a little less likely to fail via flaming marsh mellows.
I've also boiled corn and sweet potato/yam and then wrapped in foil then tossed in fire for that extra tasty Maillard effect. The texture improves slightly when doing this as well. The yam concept is similar to a snack frequently found in Asia.
Make sure you have a good and reliable way to pull your foil wrapped food out of the fire.
