This dreary January weather has me dreaming of warm sunshine, sandy toes, and summer traditions. So I’m throwing it back to one of my favorite memories to chase away the winter blues.
Every summer, our crew heads to Horsetooth Reservoir, where we stay in cozy lakefront cabins. It’s become a beloved family tradition—20 to 30 of us packed in with beach towels, card games, and enough snacks to feed a small army. The kids spend hours playing on the beach while the adults catch up over cards and campfire stories. It’s pure joy.
Before each trip, I do what every snack-loving mom does—I hit Pinterest. And this year’s find? S’mores Waffle Cones.
Yes. You heard that right.
S’MORES. IN. WAFFLE. CONES.
It’s basically everything that is good and right in the world:
- Waffle cones
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate
- And a ridiculous amount of candy
We went all in with:
Oreos, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Cherry Nibs, Peanut M&Ms, chocolate chips, and pecans.
We let the kids go wild filling their cones, then wrapped them in foil and placed them over the fire. A few minutes later—magic.
Messy? Yup.
Ooey-gooey? Oh yeah.
Absolutely delicious? 100%.
The kids were thrilled, the adults were sneaking seconds, and yes—we’ll definitely be making these again. Next time, we’re throwing gummy bears into the mix. Because why not?
Summer can’t come soon enough.
