Ingredients
- Ice Cream Cones– Any brand or size of ice cream cones can be used for these treats.
- Almond Bark– Melting chips, almond bark squares, or white chocolate chips all work well and are easy to melt and dip. I ended up using 2 large almond bark squares.
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Mini Marshmallows
- Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles
Step-by-Step Instructions
These fruit cones are so easy to make. All you have to do is:
- Prepare almond bark or chocolate: Melt almond bark or white chocolate in a small round dish until creamy and smooth. Then dip the top of the cones one at a time and let the excess drip off. Try not to over-dip so that it doesn’t get too runny down the sides of the cone.
- Cover in sprinkles: Dip the cone in the sprinkles or add sprinkles by hand. Set aside to cool and harden.
- Add fruit: Fill each cone with strawberries, blueberries, and marshmallows. Enjoy!
Storage Options
Once the cones are covered in chocolate and sprinkles, they can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. When you are ready to enjoy, add the fruit and marshmallows right before serving.
