If you’re like most of us with kids (okay and some of us without), making smore’s is just an essential part of RVing and camping. The only downside of those ooey-gooey, delicious treats is that they can be terribly messy. We found an excellent modification on Pinterest called Campfire Cones. The recipe is quite simple, and only calls for putting all of your usual smore’s ingredients chopped up into small bite size pieces into a waffle cone, wrapping it in aluminum foil, and placing it over the coals for about 5 minutes or so, turning every so often to warm all sides. When you open it up, it will be a cone full of gooey goodness, and keeping the foil on and peeling as you go down will help to contain that sticky mess. Another option to make it more interesting is adding fruit to this recipe. You could basically go crazy here… You could chop up strawberries, bananas, or raspberries, add peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or white chocolate chips… You could throw in pretzel bits, or even your favorite mini candies, such as peanut butter cups. The possibilities are endless and it’s a fun treat for the kids to get to assemble themselves with their own unique concoctions. You can even make them at home ahead of time, wrap them in foil and have them ready to go on the fire if you don’t want to pack and carry all of the ingredients on your trip. Your kids will have fun stuffing the cones full, and it may just encourage them to eat their dinner without a fuss or a fight! Have you made these yummy treats before?
