Ziploc Ice Cream Recipe

In a small ziplock bag, add:
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons condensed milk (I use Eagle Brand)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (or chocolate etc. to taste)

Close bag carefully. Place in another small ziplock bag and close as well.

In a large ziplock bag:
fill 3/4 full of snow
add 1 cup of pickling salt

Place the ingredient bag into the large bag and close same. Mix thoroughly until the contents of the ingredient bag harden (usually about 5 minutes).

Open and enjoy

Please note: Mitts are suggested to do the mixing as the salt lowers the snow temperature, and the hands get uncomfortable.

The double bagging serves two purposes:
1. if the first leaks you don't have to start over.
2. not as much salt water in the ice cream.

Ziploc Pudding

1 small box of pudding powder mix (Jello® or ??)
4 oz. milk

Put both in a Ziploc® bag, seal, and squeeze until ready to eat. To eat - snip a corner off the bag, and squeeze it into your mouth. If the pudding is too thick, then use less powder or a little more milk.

Ziploc Spoon Fudge - 1

1 lb. powdered sugar
1 stick butter
3 oz. cube cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Place all ingredients in the Ziploc bag and squeeze out all the air. Squish and moosh the bag until all the ingredients are well mixed and there is a creamy consistancy. Add any flavorings or other stuff like raisins, M&Ms, nuts, peanut butter, etc.

This site is a personal site, and is no way whatsoever connected to any 'official' Scouting Organization. Opinions expressed here are solely those of the Retired Scouter. If you don't like the current opinion you can contact me for others, I have plenty. More importantly, I have the time to tell them to you. Information that is downloaded from this site may be used in your program or re-published without asking my permission, I probably glommed it off of somebody else anyways. If you're going re-publish somebody else's information that isn't from this site, you should ask for their permission first. Some links/files may not reflect the current scouting programming in your local area. Camp coffee is an art and very few of us know how to prepare it properly, and no, I won't share.
