How to Make Reese’s Campfire Cones
Ingredients:
- Waffle cones
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate chips
- Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups
- Reese’s Pieces
Directions:
- Fill the bottom of each cone (about ¼ – ⅓) with mini marshmallows.
- Layer the chocolate chips, Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, and more mini marshmallows until filled as much as possible. Gently pack the layers down as you go.
- Wrap each cone individually in aluminum foil, making sure they are tightly sealed. The easiest way to do this is by first covering the top of the cone where the ingredients are to ensure they don’t spill out. Then, fold up the bottom and wrap up the sides.
- To bake in the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the wrapped cones on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until everything is melted and gooey.
- Cook over the fire or on the grill: Place the wrapped cones over the hot coals of your campfire or on the grill grates. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fillings are melted and the cone is slightly toasted.
- Carefully remove the cones from the heat and let cool for a minute or two.
- Unwrap the foil and enjoy!
How to Serve Reese’s Campfire Cones
Serve the cones warm, right after unwrapping them. You can enjoy them as is or top them with whipped cream or chocolate drizzle for an extra treat. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family around a campfire!
How to Store Reese’s Campfire Cones
If you have any leftover cones (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best eaten fresh but can last a couple of days when stored properly.
Tips to Make Reese’s Campfire Cones
- Make sure not to overfill the cones; leave a little space at the top to allow the fillings to expand as they cook.
- Use a variety of toppings – swap out some ingredients or add your favorite candies to the mix!
- If cooking over a fire, be careful when placing the cones near the flames to avoid burning.
Variation
You can customize the filling as you like. For a fruity twist, add fresh strawberries or banana slices. For a different flavor, try using brownie bits instead of chocolate chips!
