Ingredients
Scale
Campfire Cones
Cone Base:
- 6 waffle ice cream cones
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup marshmallows
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a workspace near a campfire or grill, ensuring a stable surface for assembling the cones.
- Carefully slice bananas and chop strawberries into small, uniform pieces.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heat-safe container over low campfire heat or using a portable camping stove, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate inside each waffle cone, rotating to create an even chocolate coating along the interior walls.
- Allow chocolate to set for 2-3 minutes at room temperature until slightly hardened.
- Layer peanut butter along the bottom of each chocolate-lined cone as a foundational spread.
- Add sliced bananas and chopped strawberries into the cones, filling approximately halfway.
- Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the fruit layer.
- Sprinkle marshmallows on top of the caramel and fruit mixture.
- Dust graham cracker crumbs over the marshmallows for added texture.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Dust powdered sugar as a final decorative touch.
- Carefully wrap each cone in aluminum foil, ensuring a secure seal.
- Place wrapped cones near campfire edges or on a grill grate for 5-7 minutes, rotating occasionally to heat evenly.
- Remove from heat, unwrap carefully, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Prep Surface Smartly: Choose a stable, heat-resistant surface near your campfire to prevent accidents and ensure smooth cone assembly.
- Chocolate Coating Trick: Rotate waffle cone slowly while drizzling melted chocolate to create an even, complete interior layer that prevents soggy bottoms.
- Fruit Freshness Hack: Cut bananas and strawberries into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure consistent flavor and easier eating experience.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap peanut butter with almond butter for nut allergies, use dairy-free chocolate for vegan options, and replace marshmallows with coconut flakes for alternative textures.
