For optimal results, use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing. Double wrapping is also recommended. Monitor the pouches closely to prevent burning, adjusting their proximity to the heat as needed. If a campfire isn't available, these can also be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 15-20 minutes. Feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of rum extract to the butter-sugar mixture for added flavor complexity. Fresh pineapple can be used, but canned rings hold up better to the heat and retain more moisture.
