Ingredients
- Waffle cones
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate chips
- Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups
- Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
- Step 1: Fill the bottom of each waffle cone about one-quarter to one-third full with mini marshmallows.
- Step 2: Add a layer of chocolate chips, then Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, followed by Reese’s Pieces, and top with more mini marshmallows. Gently pack the ingredients down to fit as much as possible.
- Step 3: Wrap each cone individually in aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed. Start by covering the top so the ingredients don’t spill out, then fold up the bottom and wrap the sides securely.

FAQs
Can I use regular peanut butter cups instead of mini ones?
Yes, but larger peanut butter cups may not fit as easily in the cone or melt evenly. Mini cups ensure better layering and melting.
Is it safe to cook foil-wrapped cones directly on campfire coals?
Yes, as long as the cones are wrapped tightly in foil, they can be placed directly on hot coals or grill grates. Just be sure to turn them occasionally to avoid burning.
