My Camp Recipe Cookbook
"Where Nutrition Never Begins..."
Every so often, we'll list our favorite camp foods and recipes right here. These are classic camp foods that if you tasted today, your mind would race right back to camp. There's a great chance that all of these are a dentist's & personal trainer's nightmare, but that's the point. Sure, nowadays, many camps have salad bars and healthy options. But even today you can find some of the greatest junk food imaginable at camp.
Do you have a camp recipe you'd like to share? Send it to tjandbrad@mycampfriends.com, and we may post it right here! (Please note: it may not be less than 850 calories per serving, and, in theory, should be roughly 65% saturated fat with a lot of transfats thrown in just for fun. Hey, it's camp food, right?)
Our first entry comes via a story from Tim C, and it's a treat we can all identify with. In fact, we're gonna go make one of these right now...

TIM'S FLUFF DADDY DELUXE
I went to Menominee Camp in Eagle River, Wisconsin in the late 90s. My friends and I from the North Shore of Chicago liked to be all gangsta then. We listened to P Diddy, Snoop and of course the Beasties. I guess all those drive bye shootings in Lake Forest and Kenilworth gave us a little street cred, so we called our daily snack the Fluff Daddy.
Fluff daddies are pretty simple to make. The hardest part was smuggling in the jar of Fluff and keeping it away from the counselors. I remember one year about a million ants piled into my boy Stan’s jar, but we were such sugar junkies that nobody seemed to mind as long as we had a graham cracker and some Hershey’s. When we were bad and not given enough candy bars to make our Fluff Daddy’s fly, someone would always have a bite-sized kiss ready, probably the most action any of us got all summer. But, the Fluff Daddy Deluxe (which we also called the Fluff Diddy, F-Diddy, or sometimes, Enrique) was the classic spread with Peanut Butter. Here's the basics:
4 Tablespoons of Marshmellow Fluff (roughly two handfulls)
1 regular-sized Hershey Bar/Krakel/or Mr. Goodbar (or approximately 12 "fun size" versions)
2 graham crackers
2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter
Directions:
Scoop 2 tablespoons of Marshmellow Fluff onto each graham cracker. Break candy bar in half, and place each half on top of the fluffy goodness. Take peanut butter, and spread on top of each candy bar. Place graham crackers together, and secure between 5 and 15 napkins. Shove into your mouth and prepare to go to marshmellow heaven. Try like hell not to cry at how incredible it tastes, and make sure there's enough for your whole cabin to enjoy. Except that one counselor who you think has been flirting with your girlfriend, even though he's a sophomore at Michigan State and she just turned 16.
