Campfire Cones

Campfire cones are a delightful and easy-to-make camping treat that combines the joy of roasting marshmallows with the convenience of a handheld cone. Here’s a simple recipe for making campfire cones:

Ingredients:

• Ice cream cones (sugar cones work well)
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips
• Assorted toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, crushed graham crackers, sprinkles, caramel sauce)

Instructions:

• Prepare Ingredients:
  • Gather all your ingredients and toppings.
  • You can customize the cones with your favorite treats.
• Fill Cones:
  • Start by filling the ice cream cones with a combination of mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
  • Add any other desired toppings to the mix.
• Wrap in Foil:
  • Wrap each filled cone in aluminum foil, making sure to seal the ends to keep the ingredients secure.
• Campfire Cooking:
  • Place the wrapped cones on the grate over the campfire or on hot coals.
  • Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even melting and cooking.
  • Be cautious not to place them too close to direct flames to prevent burning.
• Check for Doneness:
  • After a few minutes, carefully unwrap one cone and check the contents. The marshmallows should be melted, and the chocolate chips should be gooey.
• Serve and Enjoy:
  • Once done, carefully remove the campfire cones from the heat using tongs.
  • Allow them to cool for a minute before unwrapping fully.
  • Enjoy your delicious, gooey campfire cones!

Tips:
