Ingredients

6 large waffle cones
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sprinkles

Instructions

Start by setting up a work station. If using drinking glasses to keep the cones standing up, place 6 drinking glasses onto a platter or baking tray. This will make it easy to transport to the fridge.
Add one cup of the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. On 50% power, and in 30 second increments, melt the chocolate until smooth.
Holding one waffle cone at a time in your hand, ladle in a couple tablespoons of the melted chocolate. Turn the cone slowly, allowing the chocolate to cover the entire interior surface of the cone. If there’s too much excess chocolate, you can turn the cone upside down and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl of melted chocolate. Alternatively, you can let the excess chocolate settle into the bottom of the cone.
When done, stand the cone up and move onto the next. When all cones are coated, transfer to your fridge for 30-45 minutes to harden.
Once the first application of chocolate is set, it’s time to get started on the second stage of this recipe. So, with the cones ready, and a bowl of sprinkles nearby, melt the remaining chocolate using the same technique.
Again, working with one cone at a time, hold it upside down and dip it straight down into a bowl of melted chocolate. Very gently shake the cone in an up and down fashion. This will force the excess chocolate to drip off and back into the bowl of melted chocolate.
Next, hold the cone over the bowl of sprinkles. Use a spoon to spoon the sprinkles over the still wet, melted chocolate. Allow the sprinkles to stick to the chocolate while keeping the cone held over the bowl so that the sprinkles that don’t stick and fall back into the bowl. Turn the cone, spooning more sprinkles over it, until the dipped portion of it is covered in sprinkles. Return the cone to its previous resting place so that the chocolate can harden once again.
Once the chocolate has set, the cones are ready to fill with ice cream!
