One of the great joys of RV camping is cooking over the fire — and when it comes to dessert, few things beat the fun and flexibility of campfire cones. They're a hit with kids and adults alike, they require almost no cleanup, and the combination possibilities are completely endless. If you're parked at Colonia del Rey RV Park or anywhere else along the Texas coast, this is a recipe to keep in your back pocket.
Campfire Cones: Dessert Edition
Desserts are always a favorite part of a meal, especially if you don't get to have them very often. And with kids, desserts they can help make is so much fun! A super fun idea for kids is campfire cones. This is especially fun when having a party with lots of kids!
This is something that doesn't really require a recipe, as it can have just about anything in it. So, rather than giving set recipes, a list of ingredient ideas is the best way to go. You will need to have waffle cones or bowls — that ingredient isn't optional. You can make anything from peanut butter cup banana cones to berry chocolate cones to s'mores cones. The ideas are endless.
Ingredient Ideas
Chocolate chips
Mini marshmallows
Soft caramel chews
Bananas
Strawberries
Raspberries
Peanut Butter Cups
Peanuts
M&Ms
Butterscotch chips
Any crushed candy bars
Any pie filling
Cookie dough chunks
Remember, these are just a few ideas (try the cherry pie filling with chocolate chips!). Feel free to let your imagination go wild!
After you've filled your cones, wrap them in foil and set over the fire on the grill grate. After two minutes, turn until each side has been heated. Carefully remove from the grill and carefully remove the foil. This is messy — paper plates are helpful if you really loaded up your cones.
