Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Waffle cones
Mini marshmallows
Chocolate chips (any kind)
Graham crackers, broken into small pieces
Directions
Fill the bottom of each waffle cone about ¼ to ⅓ full with mini marshmallows.
Layer in chocolate chips, broken graham crackers, and more mini marshmallows until the cone is full, gently packing the layers down.
Wrap each cone individually in aluminum foil, sealing tightly. First cover the top of the cone to keep ingredients in place, then fold up the bottom and wrap the sides.
Oven method: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place wrapped cones on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, until melted and gooey.
Campfire or grill method: Place wrapped cones over hot coals or grill grates for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until melted and the cone is slightly toasted.
Remove from heat, let cool for 1–2 minutes, unwrap, and enjoy warm.
Swap chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, caramel bits, or white chocolate.
Add sliced strawberries or bananas for a fruity twist.
Use cinnamon sugar waffle cones for extra flavor.
Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce after baking.
Add crushed cookies, pretzels, or candy pieces for extra crunch.
Storage/Reheating
These cones are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them wrapped in foil at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the cone soggy.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the cones, wrap them in foil, and store them at room temperature until ready to cook.
Can I use large marshmallows?
Yes, but cut them into smaller pieces so they melt more evenly.
Do I need to spray the foil with cooking spray?
It’s not necessary, as the ingredients don’t usually stick to the foil.
Can I use sugar cones instead of waffle cones?
Yes, sugar cones work fine but hold less filling.
Can I make these indoors without an oven?
Yes, you can heat them on a stovetop grill pan over low heat, turning occasionally.
What type of chocolate works best?
Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but milk or dark chocolate also work well.
Can I cook them directly in the campfire flames?
No, place them near hot coals rather than directly in flames to avoid burning.
How do I know they’re done?
The marshmallows and chocolate should be melted and the cone slightly warm to the touch.
Can kids make these themselves?
Yes, with adult supervision for the cooking step.
How do I keep the cones from getting soggy?
Eat them soon after cooking, and avoid overfilling with marshmallows, which release moisture as they melt.
