Create Your Own Cones

You will need wax or parchment paper as well as a pasty brush, or silicone basting brush.

Line the cones up on a big piece of wax or parchment paper – spread them around the table so there is one work area for each child.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a small bowl (one color at a time) depending on how many you are making. Heating times will vary. I suggest 45 seconds to start, check your chocolate, stir a bit then do 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth and glossy when stirred.

Have your kids dip their brush into the melted chocolate and “paint” the cone tops. Then, quickly have them sprinkle on their decorations.

Make the cones one at a time – the chocolate can harden quickly depending on the temperature. If it does, the decorations will not stick.

As each one is made, gently place on your parchment/wax paper lined baking sheet. Once all are made, place in the refrigerator or cool garage for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened once again.

Store in an airtight large container if not using within a few hours.

Have fun releasing your inner artist!!

Happy Cooking!
