FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, but mini marshmallows melt more evenly and fit better inside the waffle cones for consistent gooeyness.
What is the best way to cook campfire cones if I don’t have a grill or oven?
You can cook the cones directly over a campfire grate or hot coals for just a few minutes. Be sure to turn them carefully to avoid burning the cones.
