Ingredients
  

Campfire cones base
  • 6 waffle ice cream cones
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup banana slices
  • 0.5 cup strawberries, diced
  • 0.5 cup graham cracker pieces
  • 1 Aluminum foil

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Assemble the cones
  1. Fill each waffle cone with layers of marshmallows, chocolate chips, banana slices, strawberries, and graham cracker pieces.
  2. Wrap each filled cone completely in aluminum foil.
Melt over the campfire
  1. Place the wrapped cones on a campfire grate over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, rotating occasionally until the filling looks melted and glossy.
Cool and serve
  1. Remove from the fire and let cool for 2 minutes until the foil is easier to handle and the cones hold together.
  2. Carefully unwrap the foil and enjoy with a spoon while the centers are still warm and molten.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the campfire heat at medium and rotate the cones often so the marshmallows melt without scorching the cone. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm briefly to loosen the filling. Freezing isn’t recommended because waffle cones can soften. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
