Ingredients

1 pkg (12) waffle cones
1 pkg (10 oz) white chocolate melting wafers
1 pkg red, white and blue sprinkles
Ice cream of choice for serving

Options

whipped cream
nuts, chopped, including pecans, peanuts, shredded coconut, almonds
chocolate sauce
caramel sauce
strawberry sauce
chocolate bars, chopped
M&M's, smarties, Reese's Pieces
chocolate, caramel, peanut butter or butterscotch chips
marshmallows
sprinkles and sparkles

Instructions

Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
Over low-medium heat, begin melting the chocolate wafers using a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water.
Slowly melt the chocolate wafers.
Stirring constantly.
Until smooth.
When chocolate is completely melted, dip the rim of the cone into the chocolate by turning the cone upside down. Dip to cover about ½ inch deep.
Remove cone from chocolate.
Immediately roll in sprinkles.
Make sure to cover the entire chocolate rim of the cone.
Allow dipped cones to rest upside down on parchment paper.
For 30 minutes and set.
After 30 minutes, chocolate should be completely firm and cones are ready to eat.
Top with ice cream and enjoy.

Notes

● Don’t own a double boiler? No worries. Place a heat safe bowl over top a medium bowl and allow it to nest. Place your chocolate inside the bowl and the water in the pot will heat the bottom of the bowl, slowly melting the chocolate inside.

● For this recipe, I highly recommend Ghirardelli Melting Wafers. In my experience this wafer does the best job at firming quickly and will never require for the chocolate to have to be placed in the freezer for firming.
