introduction
Reese’s Campfire Cones are waffle cones filled with mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. You wrap the cones in foil and heat them until the marshmallows and chocolate melt. The result is a portable, melty treat you can top with nuts, cookies, or caramel.
how to make Reese’s Campfire Cones Recipe
- Prepare your cones and toppings so assembly moves fast.
- Layer candies and marshmallows in each cone without packing too tight.
- Wrap cones in foil and heat until filling melts. Unwrap carefully and add toppings.
Ingredients :
- 6 to 8 Waffle Cones
- 12 to 16 Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- Chopped Nuts (e.g., peanuts or walnuts)
- Crushed Cookies
- Sprinkles
- Caramel Sauce (for drizzling)
Directions :
- Gather waffle cones, mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and any optional toppings. Having everything ready makes assembly smooth and quick.
- Begin by placing a few mini Reese’s peanut butter cups at the bottom of each cone to form a chocolate and peanut butter base. Layer in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips until the cone is about three-quarters full, without packing too tightly.
- Wrap each filled cone tightly in aluminum foil to prevent spillage. Heat over a campfire, grill, or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, until marshmallows and chocolate melt perfectly.
- Carefully remove cones from heat and unwrap. Sprinkle with optional toppings like chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey peanut butter treat!
how to serve Reese’s Campfire Cones Recipe
Serve the cones warm. Offer napkins and small plates. Let people add extra toppings like caramel or sprinkles after unwrapping. They are best eaten right away while the filling is melted.
how to store Reese’s Campfire Cones Recipe
If you have leftovers, cool the cones to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes, wrapped in foil, until warm. Note: cones may soften when stored.
tips to make Reese’s Campfire Cones Recipe
- Don’t pack the cone too tight. Leave space so chocolate and marshmallows can melt.
- Wrap the foil tightly to avoid spills.
- Heat only until the filling melts; cones can burn if left too long over open flame.
- Use mini candies for even melting and easy layering.
- Test one cone first to find the right heat and time for your fire or oven.
variation (if any)
- Use different candies like chopped chocolate bars or peanut butter chips.
- Add sliced banana or strawberries for a fruity twist.
- Swap waffle cones for sugar cones for a different crunch.
- Make a s’mores version with graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chunks.
FAQs
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can assemble cones and keep them wrapped in foil in the fridge for a few hours, but heat them just before serving for best texture.
Q: Can I use full-size Reese’s cups?
A: Full-size cups will work but can make the cone heavy. Cut them into smaller pieces for easier layering.
Q: How do I stop the cones from burning over a campfire?
A: Keep cones wrapped in foil and hold them a distance from direct flame. Rotate often and watch the time closely.
Q: Can I use a microwave to heat them?
A: Microwave can melt the filling but may make the cone soggy. Oven or campfire heating gives better texture.
