How to Make Reese’s Campfire Cones: Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Filling
Arrange your mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips, Reese’s cups, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts in bowls for easy access.
Step 2: Fill the Cones
Gently fill each sugar cone with layers of mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips, pieces of Reese’s cups, and chocolate chips. Layer to the brim—don’t be shy!
Step 3: Wrap Cones in Foil
Wrap each filled cone tightly with a piece of foil, sealing the top to prevent leaks but leaving a bit of breathing room for melted goodness.
Step 4: Heat Your Reese’s Campfire Cones
Place wrapped cones on the campfire grill grate, over hot coals (not direct flame), or on a BBQ grill at medium heat (~350°F/175°C) for 5–7 minutes, rotating occasionally. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 7–8 minutes.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Carefully unwrap (watch out for steam!) and enjoy your gooey, melty treat straight from the cone.
Notes for the Best Reese’s Campfire Cones
- Line the inside of the cones with a little peanut butter for extra flavor or to help keep melted ingredients from seeping through.
- If you prefer less mess, use mini waffle cones—they’re sturdier and hold up well to heat (learn more).
- Make it ahead: Fill and wrap cones at home, then chill until you’re ready to heat and serve!
Reese’s Campfire Cones Variations
- S’mores Campfire Cones: Swap peanut butter chips for crushed graham crackers and add white or milk chocolate chunks.
- Nut-Free Version: Omit all nuts and peanut butter products; use caramel chips and extra marshmallows.
- Fruity Campfire Cones: Add sliced strawberries or banana for a fruity, chocolatey twist.
Required Equipment for Reese’s Campfire Cones

If you have leftover cones (which is rare!), wrap them in fresh foil and store in the fridge up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 6–8 minutes. Not ideal for freezing, as the cones can become soggy.
