    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!

    FLAVOR COMBINATIONS FOR CAMPFIRE CONES

    • S’mores: graham cracker pieces, mini marshmallows and chocolate pieces (Hershey’s or chocolate chips)
    • Strawberry banana: sliced bananas, marshmallows and strawberry ice cream topping
    • Peanut butter cups
    • Butterscotch chips and marshmallows
    • Hot fudge sundae: marshmallows, hot fudge sauce and maraschino cherries
    • Fourth of July explosion: blueberries, strawberries, marshmallows and sprinkles
    • Mini M&M’s, white chocolate chips, pretzel pieces and caramel sauce

    ANOTHER CAMPFIRE RECIPE

    Only one pan is required for these irresistible Campfire Nachos and they can be made on the stovetop, grill or even over a campfire!

    GREAT SUMMER FOOD

    • Throwing together a delicious Easy Coleslaw should be simple. This classic coleslaw contains shredded cabbage, creamy vinaigrette dressing and it’s not loaded down with mayo!
    • Cook the potatoes and eggs together in a single pot! Making Potato Salad in your pressure cooker takes less than 30 minutes and requires minimal clean-up. This is the perfect party food or summer side dish!
    • Make a favorite summer finger food in your Instant Pot: Perfectly cooked Corn on the Cob EVERY SINGLE TIME. Let your pressure cooker simplify meal-time so you can enjoy every morsel of summer. Great for dinner any night of the week and potlucks, too!
    • Spruce up your Rice Krispies treats with this easy, no-bake dessert. A simple recipe that comes together quickly and into your families hands making it an easy way to make smiles. Use corn syrup instead of marshmallows for this batch.
