Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 waffle cones
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup M&Ms or other small candy pieces (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- Sprinkles (optional, for added fun)
Additional Supplies
- Aluminum foil (for wrapping cones)
Instructions
- Preheat the campfire or grill: Prepare your campfire or grill by heating it to medium temperature to ensure even melting without burning.
- Fill the cones: Stand the waffle cones upright and alternate layers of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, candy pieces, and chopped nuts inside each cone, filling them nearly to the top.
- Add sprinkles (optional): Sprinkle the top of each filled cone with colorful sprinkles if desired, adding a fun visual and extra sweetness.
- Wrap the cones: Wrap each cone tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the edges well to avoid any melted ingredients spilling out during cooking.
- Cook the cones: Place the wrapped cones on the grill or campfire grate and cook for 5-7 minutes until marshmallows and chocolate are melted and gooey. Alternatively, hold cones over the fire with tongs, turning gently for even melting.
- Cool and serve: Carefully remove cones from heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Unwrap and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty treat.
Notes
- Be careful when handling hot foil packets to avoid burns.
- Customize fillings with your favorite candies or nuts to suit your taste.
- If you prefer a crispier cone, unwrap the foil after melting and place cones over indirect heat for a minute.
- This recipe is perfect for camping but can also be made using a barbecue grill or an oven at 350°F (175°C) wrapped in foil.
