Ingredients
- 12 sugar cones
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 36 pretzel sticks
- Fall colored sprinkles
Optional filling:
- Prepared cake from box mix
- 16 ounce chocolate frosting
Instructions
- If using the cake filling, prepare your cake mix according to package directions. Let it cool completely.
- Carefully trim 1-2 inches off the pointed tips of the sugar cones using a sharp knife. You want the opening large enough for 3 pretzel sticks but not so big they fall through.
- Melt chocolate chips in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Dip the top inch of each cone in chocolate, shake off excess, then coat with sprinkles.
- Flip and repeat the process with the bottom of the cone.
- Insert 3 chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks into each cone top.
- For filled versions, mix cooled crumbled cake with frosting and carefully fill cones.
Notes
- Let the melted chocolate cool for 5 minutes before dipping to ensure better coating
- Work in small batches when dipping the cones to prevent the chocolate from hardening
- Support the pretzel sticks while filling with cake to prevent them from falling out
- Don't cut too much off the cone tips - you want the pretzels to fit snugly
- Shake off excess chocolate gently to prevent drips and ensure even coating
