Campfire Cones Recipe

Introduction

Campfire cones are an easy and fun dessert, perfect for gatherings around a fire. Made with waffle cones filled with marshmallows, chocolate, and your favorite candies, they offer a warm, gooey treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 12 waffle cones
• 1 package mini marshmallows (16 ounces)
• 1 package chocolate chips (12 ounces)
• Optional candies and fillings: Andes mints, Rolos, mini M&Ms, mini Oreos, peanut butter chips, Nutella, cookie butter, peanut butter, sprinkles, gummy bears

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill each waffle cone by alternating layers of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and your choice of additional candies or fillings. Finish with your favorite candy on top.
2. Step 2: Wrap each stuffed cone carefully in aluminum foil to prevent any filling from spilling out during cooking.
3. Step 3: Bake the wrapped cones on a sheet pan in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or place them on the top rack of a grill for 5 to 7 minutes. Alternatively, heat them over a campfire grate for 2 to 3 minutes until the chocolate and marshmallows melt.
4. Step 4: Allow the cones to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping and enjoying your gooey campfire treat.

Tips & Variations

• Try making the cones ahead of time and bring them to your campout or fire pit ready to bake.
• Set up a campfire cone buffet with assorted candies and fillings so everyone can customize their own.
• Experiment with different chocolates or add peanut butter for extra flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover cones wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. Reheat gently in the oven or over a fire to melt the fillings again before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a microwave instead of a campfire or oven?

While microwaving may melt the marshmallows and chocolate quickly, it can make the waffle cones soggy and less crispy. Using an oven, grill, or campfire is recommended for the best texture.

What if I don’t have aluminum foil?

Aluminum foil helps contain the filling and protects the cones from direct heat. If you don’t have foil, you can try placing the cones in a covered baking dish, but be careful not to burn the cones or let the filling spill out.
