So... I brought instant pudding (it didn't have to be authentic, after all) sugar and a blowtorch to camp. They made the pudding and I.... brulee'd... it. It was quite a production, involving singed paper bowls and quite a bit of time to make creme brulee for about 30 kids.
When it was all done, the kid that suggested it said "That's not creme brulee! Creme brulee is a kind of cake!"
