Directions:
- Fill the bottom of each cone (about ¼ – ⅓) with mini marshmallows.
- Layer in the chocolate chips, Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, and Reese’s Pieces, adding more mini marshmallows on top. Pack the layers gently down as you go.
- Wrap each cone in aluminum foil, making sure they are tightly sealed. Start by covering the top of the cone to keep the ingredients from spilling out. Then, fold up the bottom and wrap the sides.
