When I was at a Campfire Girl camp (Camp Wathana) in the 60's we made "mock angelfood cake" by dipping bread in sweetened condensed milk then coconut and toasting over the fire. Very yummy!

We like to set up a foil shelf at the edge of the fire, and we set the graham crackers + chocolate on that to warm up while we toast the mallows. Warms the graham crackers and melts the chocolate! = awesome.
Also, try it with a square of a Caramilk bar. Mmmmmmm....
(Oh wait. Is that what a Caramello is? I've never had one of those).
