Campfire Cones

Campfire dessert campfire cones are a fun s'mores alternative: waffle ice cream cones filled with melted marshmallows, chocolate chips, and fruit, then warmed over a grate until gooey. Each cone stays upright in foil so the filling melts into layers you can scoop with a spoon.

Ingredients
  

Campfire Cones
  • 6 waffle ice cream cones Use standard waffle cones.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows Look for mini marshmallows for faster melting.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Chocolate chips create pockets of melty chocolate.
  • 1 cup banana slices Slice bananas into thin rounds for quick warming.
  • 0.5 cup strawberries, diced Dice into small pieces so they heat through evenly.
  • 0.5 cup graham cracker pieces Crumbled graham crackers add the s'mores flavor and crunch.
  • 1 Aluminum foil Wrap each cone completely to hold in melted filling.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Fill and wrap
  1. Fill each waffle ice cream cone with layers of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, banana slices, strawberries, and graham cracker pieces.
  2. Wrap each filled cone completely in aluminum foil, sealing it so the filling stays inside while it heats.
Melt over the campfire grate
  1. Place the wrapped cones on a campfire grate over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, rotating occasionally until the filling looks melted.
Cool, unwrap, and serve
  1. Remove the cones from the fire and let them cool for 2 minutes so the foil-wrapped filling settles slightly.
  2. Carefully unwrap the foil and serve immediately, eating with a spoon.

Notes

For cleaner layers, pack each cone gently but firmly before wrapping. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm briefly in the microwave if needed (fruit will soften more). Freezing isn’t recommended because the fruit texture changes. If you want a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free chocolate chips and dairy-free mini marshmallows.
