When I come across a great recipe to which I make no modifications, I like to share it with you. I found a fun little recipe last week that I thought my kids would really enjoy. They were not disappointed and neither was I. Campfire Cones are not only fun and tasty, they are also naturally dairy-free. (I’ve never made a gluten-free cone, but I’m sure you could find the product or recipe for them.)
A few tips:
- I did not have any grill gas, so I simply wrapped the cones in the foil and put them in a 325 degree oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, the campfire cones should be eaten right away. Otherwise, the cones get soggy.
- Our cones had strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and chocolate chips. You could add any topping you desire.
- The original recipe calls for using waffle cones. I would agree with this. Regular sugar cones would be too small to hold it all in. I think waffle bowls would be a great alternative too.

I think I may have all the ingredients on hand for this week’s menu. This means I may be able to avoid the grocery, except to pick up a few fresh fruits & vegetables. Yay!
What’s on your menu this week?
Shared at Meal Plan Monday.
Your menu looks delicious! And not having to hit up the grocery store is a win in my book. Those cones look like such a fun treat! Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for the comment Danielle! Unfortunately, I wasn’t as prepared as I thought I was. The bag of lentils that I swear was in my pantry last week has gotten up and walked away
So, I suppose I’m going to be forced to the store afterall. However, I was blessed with a suprise dinner tonight from a friend, so I loved having a little “no cooking” time tonight. I hope you enjoy the cones!
