Campfire Cones

Over the summer we perfected the art of s'mores!  We had them with Peeps, different chocolate candies, different marshmallows, graham crackers, Ritz crackers, and they were all delicious.  And then we discovered campfire cones!  Basically, you take all the delicious elements of a s'more, stuff it in a sugar cone, and let it melt together!  These became the hands down favorite.  We've served them to visiting family, eaten them on camping trips, and made them in the oven at home.  No matter what the occasion, these ooey gooey treats are remarkable.  In the spirit of celebrating the few remaining days of summer, I thought we'd enjoy them again this weekend, and it seems only fair to share!

Campfire Cones

Ingredients:

• Sugar cones
• chocolate chips
• peanut butter, Nutella, or Sunbutter
• banana
• mini marshmallows
• chocolate candies (Reese's, Rolos, etc.)
• Aluminum foil

Method:
 
First, spread a little bit of peanut butter, Nutella, or Sunbutter inside the cone.  Fill in the cone with alternating layers of diced banana, chocolate chips, chocolate candy of your choice, and mini marshmallows.  

Take care to gently pack the marshmallows tightly as they will melt into almost nothing.  Fill the cone all the way to the top.

 

 Lay the cone on a square of aluminum foil.  Use a reasonably large piece of foil as the extra layers will help protect the cone from burning.

Wrap securely.  Cook for approximately 10 minutes either around the edges of a campfire, on the surface of a grill, or in the oven at 350 degrees.

Remove the cone from the fire and check its meltiness.  If its ready, let it cool a moment and then eat the ooey gooey deliciousness.  

Personally, I think the banana is perhaps the most shockingly wonderful part, but its all pretty yummy.  The cones are especially great for kids since all the mess in contained in a neat little package.

Hopefully you can all find an evening to enjoy campfire cones and reminisce about the wonders of summer!
