Magical Hats
1 C. tiny marshmallows
1/2 C. peanuts
1/2 C. candy corn
1/2 C. large milk chocolate pieces
20 plain, colored and/or chocolate ice cream cones
6 (2 oz.) squares chocolate- or vanilla-flavored candy coating, melted
20 (2- to 3-inch) chocolate cookies
Assorted small candies
In a medium bowl stir together marshmallows, peanuts, candy corn and
chocolate pieces. Set mixture aside.
Place ice cream cones on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Spread
outside of cones with melted chocolate or vanilla coating. If
desired, sprinkle small candies on the cone before the coating dries
completely.* Let coating dry.
Turn cones upside down and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the
marshmallow mixture.
Place the cones upside down inside a mug and brush a generous amount
of melted chocolate or vanilla coating along the bottom edge of the
cone. Press a cookie against the coating and let dry.
Carefully turn the cone right side up onto the wax-paper-lined
baking sheet.
*If desired, leave some cones plain and decorate after filling.
Decorate the outside of the plain cones with small candies, using
the melted coating to stick the candies onto the cone. |
