Campfire Cones (Fun & Easy Summer Dessert)
Campfire Cones are fun to make AND eat!
Gooey marshmallow-filled campfire cones are a fun twist to traditional s’mores and can be customized with endless possibilities! It’s always such a crowd-pleasing dessert as everyone can fill with their favorite add-ins, and these campfire cones cook up in a cinch.
Who knew ice cream cones could be so versatile?!
While s’mores are a simple treat already, waffle cones make for such a fun variation since they are a little crispier and are perfect for a handheld snack. And don’t let the term “campfire” cones throw you! While these can be cooked over a fire, you can also make them on the grill or in the oven!
In fact, we even had a reader mention she made these in the microwave (without the foil, of course) and stood the cone upright in the microwave by placing it inside a coffee mug.

Fun and easy to make cones filled with yummy treats for your summertime BBQ.
Ingredients
- Waffle ice cream cones
- Filling ideas: marshmallows, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate bar pieces, Rolos, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, peanut butter, bananas, raspberries, strawberries
Directions
1
To a waffle cone, add in your desired campfire cone fillings. Cover the entire cone with foil.
2
Place foil-wrapped cones over the campfire on a grate or near the coals for about 3-5 minutes. Once melted, use long tongs to grab them when hot and let cool for a couple of minutes before handling.
If you're not near a campfire, you can cook on a heated grill for 5-6 minutes or in the oven at 375 degrees for about 5-8 minutes.
3
Unwrap the foil from the top and enjoy the warm and gooey melted deliciousness.
Ooey, gooey goodness!
These campfire cones are always a huge hit with my kids, and such an easy treat! Save this recipe for all of your future backyard BBQs, camping trips, or when you need a delicious pick me up snack. 🙌
Rolos would be so good. We usually use Reese’s for regular s’mores but will definitely try rolos when we try the cones

We had these tonight and they were delicious. Recommend putting the grill on low and doing them for 5 or less minutes. Ooey and gooey. Thanks!
We had a large group, so didn’t want to have so many cones in the fire, then not knowing who’s was who’s. The solution was to wrap the foil with some extra on the top to make a place to put the campfire fork through the foil. We then had to kids put them in the firs just as they were toasting marshmallows.
Oh that’s a nice idea 🙌 thanks Nancy!
If you use the air fryer, do you need to cover in foil? What temp should the air fryer be at?
This just popped up as a memory for me and I thought why the heck not fill it all the way and when you take it out go ahead and put in a scoop of ice cream! Yum yum
Ohhhh I love that idea. YUM
