Campfire S'mores in a Cone

Last weekend I went on a stay-cation with my boyfriend's family. We ventured up to a nice little cabin in Azle. The cabin was just off the lake with a long dock the boys fished off of (where they caught a good sized catfish-link page- that I fried up).  It was a great time spending time with each other away from work and (some) technology. We became avid kayakers during this trip: we kayaked 7 miles on the Brazos river and then got to the lake house and kayaked some more. We even took the kayaks and a canoe out on to the lake and we fished. We spent our nights making s'mores around the campfire. We made traditional s'mores and then we decided to mix things up a bit by putting the s'mores fillings inside of a waffle cone.

We sat outside talking around the fire and making our s'mores enjoying the company and sweets. They turned out pretty good and pretty sweet. So, if you LOVE sugary things this is the treat for you. This is a pretty clever idea and the cool thing about it is you can add different types of fillings alonf with the marshmallow, such as: peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, and any sort of chopped up candy bar! I am not a huge fan of chocolate, so using peanut butter chips sounds so yummy right now. Also, what is even better is that you can use an oven or grill to heat the cones if you are not around a campfire. If you do decide to use an oven I recommend heating the cones (still in foil) at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Have fun and enjoy!

Ingredients

12 waffle cones

1 bag of mini marshmallows

1 bag of chocolate chips

1 bag of large marshmallows ~ optional

Directions

Fire up the campfire.
Take your waffle cone and ~if you chose to buy large marshmallows as well stick that at the bottom of the cone~ fill it with the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Wrap the filled cones in aluminum foil and place them in the campfire about 7-10 minutes. Keep away from direct flames! Be careful when you unwrap the foil because it will be hot.

LATER RATER

I asked all the people who tried this with me and it was a mixed vote. Some loved it, some didn't care much for it. The votes ranged from a 2 (because it was too sweet) to a 5. So, if you love sweets and want something fun to eat give it a try!
