I’ve mentioned before my little Sammy’s obsession with anything sweet. We will be staying at a few different campgrounds in the coming weeks and the only thing he needs to know is, Will we be able to make a fire so we can make s’mores?
Gotta figure out the important stuff, people!
Campfire Cones are a fun twist on the good ol’ ice cream cone and they’re a great summer treat at home or on the road. The ingredients travel well, we’ve learned, and it is super handy to wrap up a cone and throw it over a fire or grill.
MAKING CAMPFIRE CONES IS EASY – WATCH THIS QUICK VIDEO TUTORIAL TO LEARN HOW!
HOW TO MAKE CAMPFIRE CONES
STEP 1
Gather fillings of your choice and put them within arm’s reach!

Fill each cone or cone bowl with ingredients so they are level with the tops. Wrap in foil.

STEP 2
Place foil packs in a grilling basket and place over a campfire for 5-10 minutes, or until contents are melty. Other cooking methods: grill over medium heat or bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove from foil and serve with a spoon!

RECIPE NOTES FOR CAMPFIRE CONES
- Waffle cones or standard ice cream cones work great for campfire cones. We love using waffle bowls, too!
- It is a good idea to spray foil first if using marshmallows as a filling in order to avoid sticking.
- Make sure the contents of the cones are not overflowing.
- Depending on how hot your fire/grill are, you may only need to “cook” for 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye!
