Happy Sunday! Today is Valentine’s Day, so it is already a day to splurge a little bit! But not only that, it is cold outside. It is snowing and a mere 10 degrees. Typically, our average weather here in February is around 60 degrees. So, it’s freezing, and I’m dreaming of warm nights near the campfire…
Since it’s Valentine’s Day and we are really missing summer today, I thought why not make campfire cones? What are campfire cones, you ask? They are a fun and less messy version of the classic campfire treat, s’mores. You can throw whatever you’d like into each cone to suit everyone’s unique tastes. Aside from graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows, we’ll add candies and fruit. Oh, and the best part of this, is that you don’t need a campfire to make these! You can bake them right in your oven.
In addition to the traditional ingredients, I am using mini-m&ms, reese’s pieces, bananas and blueberries.
Ingredients:
- Waffle cones
- Marshmallows (we love the minis!)
- Cut up Hershey chocolate pieces or chocolate chips
- Graham crackers, broken into smaller pieces
- Additional toppings (optional) – m&ms, reese’s pieces, peanut butter cups, broken up kit kat pieces, bananas, strawberries, blueberries…anything you love to add to ice cream works!
- Non-stick foil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pick up waffle cone and wrap non-stick foil around the bottom of the cone.
4. Fill waffle cones with chocolate, graham cracker pieces, marshmallows and desired toppings. Gently pull and place onto baking sheet.
5. Bake in oven for 5 to 8 minutes.
Here is my s’mores cone with blueberries!
I like to bake mine a little light so that the chocolate has melted, the blueberries are warm and the marshmallows are still intact, but they have that nice hard crust on the outside and are gooey on the inside. The further into the cone, the more melted the toppings are. If you like your marshmallows and toppings more melted, bake for 7 to 8 minutes.
Let me know in the comments down below if you have tried this! What are your favorite toppings?
