🍑 Campfire Peach Cobbler Packets – Bubba’s Sweet & Simple Country Dessert

When the sun’s settin’ low and the campfire’s glowin’ bright, that’s when Bubba pulls out this little piece of country heaven — Campfire Peach Cobbler Packets.

It’s got all the goodness of Grandma’s cobbler — juicy peaches, brown sugar, and a buttery topping — but done campfire-style, right in foil packets. Ain’t no dishes, ain’t no fuss, and every bite tastes like home.

Whether you’re campin’, grillin’, or just hankerin’ for somethin’ sweet under the stars, this dessert’ll make your heart smile and your belly full.

🍑 Ingredients

1 large can (29 oz) sliced peaches, drained
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter per serving
1 cup dry yellow cake mix (or biscuit mix if you’re keepin’ it simple)
Optional: a dash of nutmeg or a drizzle of honey
Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

🔥 Directions

Step 1: Get the Fire Rollin’

Build yourself a good, steady campfire with a nice bed of hot coals — you don’t want high flames, just steady heat.

If you’re cookin’ on a grill, set it to medium heat (about 375°F).

Step 2: Mix It Up

In a bowl (or right in your foil if you’re lazy like Bubba on a Sunday), combine the peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Give ‘em a gentle stir till they’re shiny and smellin’ sweet.

Step 3: Make the Packets

Tear off a big sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil — about 12×12 inches per serving. Spoon a few heaping scoops of your peach mix in the center.

Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of dry cake mix right over the top, then drop a tablespoon of butter right in the middle. Fold the foil up tight, sealin’ it good so the juice don’t leak out.

Step 4: Cook ‘Em Slow

Set your foil packets on the campfire grate or near the coals (not on the flames). Cook for about 15–20 minutes, turnin’ halfway through.

You’ll hear a soft sizzle and smell that brown sugar and butter caramelizin’ — that’s when you know you’re in business.

Carefully open one packet to check: if it’s hot and bubbly, you’re ready to serve.

Step 5: Serve Bubba-Style

Spoon it up warm, right outta the foil, or dump it in a bowl if you’re fancy. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and prepare for pure bliss.

Bubba says, “If you ain’t lickin’ the spoon clean, you ain’t livin’ right.”

🪵 Bubba’s Tips

Use fresh or frozen peaches when they’re in season — just toss in a pinch more sugar.
Try apples or berries for a fruity twist.
Add a splash of bourbon for an “adult version” Bubba keeps secret from Aunt May.

🧊 Storage

If you somehow have leftovers, keep ‘em sealed up tight and store in your cooler or fridge. Reheat near the fire or in a skillet the next mornin’ — tastes mighty fine with coffee.

❤️ Bubba’s Final Word

“Now that’s dessert the way the good Lord intended — sweet, simple, and shared ‘round the fire with folks you love. Ain’t no fancy tools or ovens needed — just peaches, patience, and a warm campfire glow.”
