Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 crispy waffle cones
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 4 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Optional Add-ins
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
- Sprinkle of sea salt (optional)
- Fresh fruit slices like strawberries or bananas (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather waffle cones, mini marshmallows, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, and chocolate chips. Breaking peanut butter cups into small pieces helps distribute flavor evenly inside the cones.
- Stuff the Cones: Carefully fill each waffle cone starting with a layer of mini marshmallows, then add a mix of chopped Reese’s cups and chocolate chips. Alternate layers to combine gooey sweetness and crunchy texture in every bite.
- Wrap for Cooking: Wrap each filled cone tightly in aluminum foil to protect the cones and allow the fillings to melt perfectly without direct flame exposure.
- Toast Over the Campfire: Hold the foil-wrapped cones over hot campfire embers or use a grill rack. Rotate steadily for 5 to 7 minutes, letting marshmallows melt and chocolate ooze, while avoiding burning the cones.
- Cool and Enjoy: Carefully unwrap the cones, watching out for steam, and enjoy the warm, melty Reese’s Campfire Cones immediately for the best gooey texture.
Notes
- Choose thick, sturdy waffle cones to prevent sogginess and keep the treat intact.
- Use medium heat by toasting over hot embers, not direct flames, to avoid burning.
- Alternate layers of marshmallows and chocolate pieces for even melting and flavor balance.
- Double wrap in foil if embers are particularly hot to protect the cones.
- Serve promptly while warm to enjoy optimal gooey texture.
