These biscuit cups toasted to golden perfection over a campfire go by a lot of names. Campfire biscuit cups are also called Wolf ‘em cups, Woof ‘em cups, Tarts on a Stick, Cobbler cups, and more … all based on the brand name of the implements used to make them.

With a variety of both sweet and savory filling options available, anyone in the camping crew is likely to consider them delicious.

If you shop Amazon, your local big box, or a hardware store, you can find a variety of the sticks available – either a 1 ¼ inch wooden dowel 2-3 inches long on the end of a roasting stick or an inverted metal cup on the end of a roasting stick.

Tips on Making Campfire Biscuit Cups

• We tried biscuit dough and crescent roll dough. Because of the round shape, the biscuit dough worked better, especially on the metal cups shaped like small flower pots. Crescent roll dough was ok on the cylindrical dowels, but require more forming to get it to seal.
• Junior sized biscuit dough works better. The technique that worked best with the least tearing of holes in the dough was to take the round piece of dough for one biscuit and put it down on a semi-non-stick surface like a porcelain plate. With your finger tips, gently pat the dough into a larger circle. About 3-3½ inches across is about right. Hold the form pointing up on the stick, and drop the dough centered over the top of it. Then press it onto the form to even up the length of the cup sides all the way around.
• We never had any problems with sticking whether we oiled the form (wood or metal) or not. There’s enough oil in the dough it seems to prevent sticking. But if you’re nervous, give your dowel a coat of cooking spray, to be safe.
• The models with metal forms shaped like upside down flowerpots, created larger biscuit cups, which made it easier to spoon in fillings. The cups baked on the dowel forms were smaller and the opening was pretty small when the dough puffed up.
• A common problem was the outside of the cup being done, and the inside being raw. To compensate, we baked the cup until the outside looked perfect, then carefully removed the cup from the form. Then we placed the cup, open side down, on the grate above the fire for a few minutes until it was finished baking. Perfection.
• Experimenting with both sweet and savory fillings for campfire biscuit cups was a blast. We recommend you make a whole variety ahead of time, and let your campers choose what they want. One “universal” must-have is a can of spray whipped cream. It’s a great topping on nearly any sweet option and on more than one occasion has been used as a filling on its own!
