How to Make Reese’s Campfire Cones

Making Reese’s Campfire Cones is a straightforward and enjoyable process. With just a few steps, you’ll have a delicious dessert ready in no time. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare the Cones

First things first, grab those adorable waffle cones. Stand them upright on a plate or in a cup. This makes it easier to fill them without any mess. Take a moment to appreciate how fun they look! It adds a little excitement to the cooking process.

Step 2: Layer the Fillings

Now for the fun part! Start by filling the bottom of each cone with about ¼ to ⅓ of mini marshmallows. This helps create a soft base. Next, layer in the chocolate chips, then add the Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups. For a burst of flavor, toss in some Reese’s Pieces. Don’t forget to top it off with more mini marshmallows. Pack everything down gently, just like a hug for your cone!

Step 3: Wrap the Cones

To keep all that melted goodness in, we need to wrap each cone tightly in aluminum foil. Start at the top, rolling it down, then fold up the bottom and sides like you’re tucking them in for bed. This ensures no ooey-gooey filling escapes, which would be a travesty!

Step 4: Baking Instructions

If you’re opting for an oven-baked treat, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the wrapped cones on a baking sheet to safeguard against any spills. Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes. You want everything to be melted and oozy—trust your nose for that sweet aroma!

Step 5: Cooking Over a Fire or Grill

For a classic campfire experience, place the wrapped cones over the hot coals. If grilling, put them directly on the grates. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until the fillings are melted. Remember the excitement of campfire stories? Now you’ve added a delicious dessert to the mix!

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once the cones have cooled for a minute or two—safety first!—carefully unwrap those foil bundles. Revel in the gooey, chocolaty, peanut buttery goodness inside. If you’re feeling extra fancy, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Now, dig in and enjoy this sweet treat without any guilt plea!

Tips for Success

• Experiment with different chocolate types for unique flavors.
• Pack the fillings tightly to maximize gooeyness; it’s like a warm hug!
• Keep an eye on the cooking time—every campfire or oven varies slightly!
• Don’t be afraid to mix in your favorite candies for a twist!
• Let the cones cool for a minute to avoid singed fingers!

Equipment Needed

• Aluminum foil: Essential for wrapping your cones. Parchment paper can work in a pinch.
• Baking sheet: A must for oven baking. An oven-safe dish will do if you’re in a bind.
• Plate or cup: To hold your cones upright while you fill them.

Variations
