Reese’s Campfire Cones

Reese’s Campfire Cones recipe - featured image

A quick and easy campfire dessert featuring Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups stuffed inside waffle cones and roasted over a fire for a melty, crunchy treat.

Ingredients

  • Waffle cones (standard size, sturdy)
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (3-4 per cone, unwrapped)
  • Chocolate chips (1 tablespoon per cone, semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • Mini marshmallows (optional, a sprinkle per cone)
  • Aluminum foil (for wrapping cones)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your campfire or fire pit until you have a nice bed of hot embers (about 20-30 minutes).
  2. Carefully unwrap 3-4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups per cone. Place them inside the waffle cone along with 1 tablespoon (15g) of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of mini marshmallows if using.
  3. Wrap each filled cone tightly in aluminum foil, folding edges securely to prevent leaks and protect cones from direct flames.
  4. Using tongs, place the foil-wrapped cones on hot embers or near glowing coals (not directly in flames). Roast for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to warm evenly until chocolate melts and cones feel warm through the foil.
  5. Carefully unwrap cones after letting them cool for 1-2 minutes to avoid burns. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, melty filling with a crisp cone.

Notes

Use indirect heat by roasting over hot embers instead of direct flames to prevent burning. Wrap cones tightly in foil to avoid drips. For indoor cooking, bake wrapped cones at 350°F (175°C) for 7-10 minutes. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes wrapped loosely in foil. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy cones. Variations include nut-free versions, adding fruit, spices, or different candies.
