Story & Intro

Smores Waffle Cone Dessert Cups with Chocolate Marshmallows Candy
Reese's Campfire Cones – Easy Gooey Summer Dessert Everyone Loves 13

Growing up, dessert meant gathering around whatever heat we had—sometimes a fire pit, sometimes just the oven door cracked open. But once I started making Reese’s Campfire Cones, dessert became a whole event.

Instead of passing around graham crackers, we each grabbed a cone and filled it just how we liked. And let me tell you, adding Reese’s cups changed everything.

Then, the first time I made Reese’s Campfire Cones for my family, nobody spoke for a good minute. That’s how you know it’s good.

Also, what makes Reese’s Campfire Cones so special is how simple they are. You don’t need fancy tools. You just need a sweet tooth and a little heat.

Next, I started trying them in the air fryer. Just like these air fryer desserts , they come out perfectly melted without any hassle.

Then, once you try them, you’ll see why Reese’s Campfire Cones keep showing up at every summer get-together I host.

Easy Flavor Swaps

Now, let’s mix things up a bit.

Then, if you want a richer flavor, drizzle a little chocolate syrup before wrapping.

Also, if you love experimenting like in these air fryer chocolate recipes , you’ll have fun creating your own version.
