Campfire Cones
Campfire Cones are a fun and easy outdoor dessert made by filling waffle cones with chocolate, marshmallows, and sweet toppings, then warming them over a campfire until melted and gooey. This Campfire Cones recipe is perfect for camping trips, backyard bonfires, or summer cookouts. With customizable fillings and a crunchy cone shell, these warm treats are a creative twist on classic campfire desserts.
Ingredients
- 4 waffle cones
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- Optional fillings
- Sliced strawberries
- Banana slices
- Mini candy pieces
- Caramel sauce
- Crushed cookies
Instructions
- Prepare a campfire or grill with medium heat.
- Lay out all ingredients so everyone can assemble their own cones.
- Fill each waffle cone with layers of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and optional fruit or candy toppings.
- Wrap each filled cone tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped cones near the hot campfire coals or on a grill.
- Heat for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally to melt the fillings evenly.
- Carefully remove from the heat and open the foil.
- Allow the cones to cool for 1–2 minutes before eating.
Notes
- Place cones near hot coals rather than direct flames to avoid burning.
- Do not overfill the cones so the fillings can melt evenly.
- Wrap the cones tightly in foil to protect the waffle cone and keep the heat inside.
- These treats are best enjoyed warm and freshly melted.
