Ingredients
  

Waffle ice cream cones
  • 6 waffle ice cream cones
Mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
Banana slices
  • 1 cup banana slices
Strawberries, diced
  • 0.5 cup strawberries, diced
Graham cracker pieces
  • 0.5 cup graham cracker pieces
Aluminum foil
  • 1 aluminum foil

Method
 

Fill the cones
  1. Fill each waffle cone with layers of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, banana slices, strawberries, and graham cracker pieces.
Melt over the campfire
  1. Wrap each filled cone completely in aluminum foil, sealing it so the filling stays contained.
  2. Place the wrapped cones on a campfire grate over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, rotating occasionally so the marshmallows melt evenly.
Cool and serve
  1. Remove the cones from the fire and let them cool for 2 minutes so the foil can be handled safely.
  2. Carefully unwrap the foil and enjoy the melted filling with a spoon.

Notes

Pro tip: build the layers evenly and keep the foil tightly wrapped to trap heat for faster melting. Store any leftovers in the fridge up to 1 day, then rewarm briefly in foil. Freezing isn’t recommended because the fruit texture changes. For a lighter option, use reduced-sugar marshmallows and dark chocolate chips for the same gooey cone experience.
