Follow the directions on the box to make the pudding by adding 2 cups of cold water to a box of vanilla pudding. Whisk for two minutes until it starts to set. Place it in the fridge for a few minutes and give it one last stir. Then, transfer the pudding to a plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Unroll a can of crescent rolls and separate into four rectangles (push the seams of two triangles together to make the rectangles). Wrap around a thick stick that has been sprayed with cooking spray or wrapped in aluminum foil.
There will be extra dough after wrapping it around the stick. Cut the excess dough where it meets the other edge. Do not overlap the dough. Then, press the edges to seal the dough together. Seal the top of the dough over the top of the stick.
Save the excess dough - you'll have enough to make a 5th eclair with the remnants from the other four shells.
Hold the dough over hot campfire coals for about 30 seconds to one minute, until the dough starts to brown. Rotate the stick a quarter turn and continue cooking until the entire shell is golden brown.
If the dough is still a little raw inside, hold the stick higher above the campfire to continue baking the shell, without browning (or burning) the exterior.
Once the dough is cooked through, slide it off the end of the stick. Then, cut a small corner off the end of the pudding plastic bag and pipe it into the inside of the eclair.
Top with hazelnut spread or chocolate syrup and dig in.
