• Use high-quality chocolate chips for extra creaminess.
• Add a mix of Reese’s Mini Cups and Reese’s Pieces for the ultimate peanut butter-chocolate combo.

Feel free to swap in caramel bits, chopped nuts, or even pretzel pieces for a fun variation.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Fill the Cones
Start by adding mini marshmallows to the bottom of each waffle cone.

Fill about 1/4 to 1/3 of the cone to create a soft base that melts nicely.

Layer in chocolate chips, Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, and more mini marshmallows.

Alternate layers, gently packing them down to maximize the filling.

Continue filling until the cone is as full as possible, ensuring a mix of all the good stuff throughout.

Step 2: Wrap in Foil
Wrap each filled cone individually in aluminum foil.

Start by covering the top of the cone to secure the fillings.

Then fold up the bottom and wrap around the sides, making sure the foil is tightly sealed to hold everything inside.

Proper wrapping ensures the ingredients melt evenly without spilling out.

Step 3: Cooking Methods

Oven Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the wrapped cones on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the contents are fully melted and gooey.

Campfire or Grill Method
Place the wrapped cones directly on the hot coals of your campfire or on a grill grate.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even melting.

The goal is a slightly toasted cone and a fully melted, gooey interior.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully remove the cones from the heat.

Allow them to cool for a minute or two before unwrapping.

Unwrap the foil and enjoy your warm, gooey Reese’s Campfire Cone right away.

The cone will be slightly crispy on the outside and melty on the inside for the ultimate campfire treat.

How to Serve Them Perfectly

These Reese’s Campfire Cones are best enjoyed fresh and warm, when the chocolate and marshmallows are fully melted.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finish
• Offer a variety of fillings at a DIY dessert bar so everyone can customize their own
• Pair with hot chocolate or a cold glass of milk

Perfect for casual gatherings, cookouts, or cozy nights by the fire.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

To store leftovers
It’s best to enjoy these cones fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can reheat them.

Wrap the cone in foil again and warm it gently in the oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes.

To make ahead
You can pre-fill and wrap the cones a few hours ahead of time.

Store in the refrigerator until ready to bake or grill.

This makes them ideal for parties or camping trips where quick desserts are needed.

Recipe Variations

1. S’mores Campfire Cones
