Wrap Cones: Wrap each filled cone securely in aluminum foil, making sure the foil covers the entire cone but isn’t wrapped too tightly—allow some space for the marshmallows to expand.

Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (about 175°C). Once preheated, place the wrapped cones in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows and Reese’s are melted and gooey. The exact time might vary based on your air fryer model and how packed the cones are, so adjust accordingly.

Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the cones from the air fryer (they will be hot) and let them sit for a minute or two. This brief cooling period helps the melted ingredients set slightly, making the cones easier to handle.

Serve and Enjoy: Unwrap the cones from the foil, being cautious of any steam. Serve immediately while warm and gooey for the best experience.

Pro Tips

Making Reese’s Campfire Cones in an air fryer is an innovative way to enjoy a decadent treat. Here are some pro tips to elevate your cone creation:

  • Choose the Right Cones: Opt for large, sturdy waffle cones that can hold plenty of fillings without breaking or becoming too soggy.
  • Layer Wisely: Start and end with marshmallows when layering your fillings; they act as a ‘glue’ to keep everything together and ensure even melting.
  • Mix Textures: Combine crunchy, gooey, and creamy textures by adding ingredients like nuts, banana slices, or even small pretzel pieces alongside your Reese’s and marshmallows for a more interesting eating experience.
  • Seal the Foil Properly: Ensure the aluminum foil is tightly sealed around the cone to prevent any filling from leaking out during cooking, but leave a bit of space inside for expansion.
  • Check for Doneness: Since air fryers vary, check your cones around the 5-minute mark. The marshmallows should be visibly melted and the chocolate warm and gooey.
  • Let Them Rest: Allow the cones to cool for a minute or two after removing them from the air fryer. This brief waiting period helps the ingredients set slightly, reducing the risk of burns and spills.
  • Use Oven Mitts: When removing the cones from the air fryer, always use oven mitts to protect your hands from the hot foil.
  • Customize Your Fillings: Don’t hesitate to get creative with fillings based on your preferences or to celebrate different seasons and holidays, like adding peppermint candies during the winter for a festive twist.

By following these pro tips, you’ll ensure your Reese’s Campfire Cones are a flawless blend of crispy, gooey, and utterly delicious — a perfect treat to enjoy with minimal prep and cleanup.

Faq’s

Can I make Reese’s Campfire Cones ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the cones with marshmallows and Reese’s and wrap them in foil ahead of time. Just store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to air fry.

What other fillings can I add to my cones? Feel free to get creative! Try adding chocolate chips, caramel pieces, sliced bananas, strawberries, or a dollop of peanut butter for extra flavor layers.

How do I prevent the cones from burning in the air fryer? Keep an eye on the cooking time and check your cones around the 5-minute mark. Every air fryer is different, so adjustments may be necessary to prevent burning.

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows? Yes, you can use regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces. Mini marshmallows melt more evenly, but both will work fine.

Is it possible to make these cones without an air fryer? Absolutely! You can make them over a campfire or grill, or bake them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, until everything is melted and gooey.

How do I eat Reese’s Campfire Cones without making a mess? Let the cones cool for a minute or two after cooking to allow the melted ingredients to set slightly. Eat them over a plate or napkin to catch any drips.

Can I reuse the foil for another batch? It’s best to use fresh foil for each cone to ensure that it’s properly sealed and to maintain hygiene.

Are Reese’s Campfire Cones gluten-free? Waffle cones typically contain gluten, but you can find gluten-free cones at some health food stores. Be sure to check the packaging of all ingredients if you’re aiming for a gluten-free treat.

How do I store leftovers? If you have leftover assembled but uncooked cones, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cooked cones are best enjoyed immediately, as the waffle cone may become soft upon storing.

Can I make these with homemade waffle cones? Homemade waffle cones are a delicious option! Just ensure they’re sturdy enough to hold the fillings and fit in your air fryer when wrapped in foil.
