Ingredients

• Waffle cones: essential for holding fillings select sturdy cones that do not crack easily
• Mini marshmallows: add gooey sweetness choose fresh fluffy marshmallows for best results
• Chocolate chips: for rich chocolate pockets use semisweet or milk chocolate chips depending on your taste
• Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups: the star ingredient that brings creamy peanut butter flavor opt for fresh soft cups
• Reese’s Pieces: provide crunch and a pop of color look for full bags with no broken candies

• Look for waffle cones without any holes and the freshest candies for the best melted texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Cones:

Fill the bottom of each sturdy waffle cone with a layer of mini marshmallows pressing gently to avoid cracks This prevents any chocolate from leaking and forms a gooey base

Layer the Fillings:

Add chocolate chips Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups Reese’s Pieces and an extra sprinkle of mini marshmallows Continue layering and pressing gently until the cone is filled to the top This keeps everything packed and prevents uneven melting

Wrap in Foil:

Wrap each cone tightly in aluminum foil Start by covering the top to keep fillings in place Then fold the bottom up and seal the sides snugly so nothing leaks while melting

Campfire or Oven Melting:

For campfire cooking nestle foil wrapped cones into hot coals or on a grate Turn every couple of minutes and cook 5 to 7 minutes For oven baking preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake on a sheet for 10 to 15 minutes Watch closely for the perfect melt

Unwrap and Enjoy:

Let cones cool for just a minute or two to avoid burning fingers Carefully unwrap the foil dish up and serve while the fillings are molten and the cone is still crisp
