Description
Campfire Cones are a fun and easy-to-make dessert perfect for outdoor gatherings. These waffle cones are stuffed with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and optional add-ins like peanut butter chips, M&Ms, and chopped nuts, then wrapped in foil and heated over a campfire or grill until gooey and melted.
Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 waffle cones
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup M&Ms or other small candy pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- Sprinkles (for added fun)
Other
- Aluminum foil (for wrapping cones)
Instructions
- Preheat the heat source. Preheat the campfire or grill to medium heat to create an even and safe cooking environment for melting the cone fillings.
- Fill the waffle cones. Stand each waffle cone upright and layer mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, candy pieces, and chopped nuts inside, filling each cone nearly to the top.
- Add sprinkles. If desired, sprinkle colorful candies on top of the cone fillings for an extra festive touch.
- Wrap cones in foil. Wrap each filled cone tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring all edges are sealed to prevent any melted ingredients from leaking out during cooking.
- Cook over heat. Place the foil-wrapped cones on the grill or campfire grate and cook for 5-7 minutes until the marshmallows and chocolate melt and become gooey. Alternatively, hold the cones over the fire with tongs, turning them gently to melt evenly.
- Cool and serve. Carefully remove the cones from the heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey treat.
Notes
- You can customize these cones with your favorite candies and nuts for different flavors and textures.
- Use caution when handling hot cones and foil; they can become very hot during cooking.
- If you don’t have a campfire or grill, you can also warm the cones in an oven at 350°F wrapped in foil for about 5-7 minutes.
- For a nut-free version, omit nuts and peanut butter chips.
