How to Store S’mores Cones

Tips to Make S’mores Cones
- For an extra crunchy texture, consider adding crushed graham crackers to the layers inside the cone.
- If you’re using the cones for kids, make sure to monitor their cooking time to prevent burning.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, to create unique flavor profiles.

S’mores Cones can easily be customized to fit various tastes. Swap out mini marshmallows for caramel bits or peanut butter chips for a different flavor.
