Dark Chocolate Dipped Fruit Salad Cones

12/30/2017

 
Chocolate dipped ice cream cones filled with fresh fruit!!
Picture




You wonder why any kid would want
​fresh fruit in a cone.
Picture




​​Hello Skittles. Ha!
Picture




Even adults will like these festive
fruit salad cones!
Picture


BIG TIME NOTE HERE:
USE THE JUMBO CAKE CONES. I USED REGULAR SIZE CONES AND I REALLY SHOULD HAVE USED THE
JUMBO SIZE AS SUGGESTED.




​
​Here's the fixins for these happy, sparkly treats!
Picture
The ingredients are:
Jumbo ice cream cones
Apple
Strawberries, halved
Blueberries
Dark Chocolate Chunks
Sprinkles (I used crushed candy canes as it was December)
Lemon to rub apples slices


THAT'S IT! That's all you need for the ingredients!


I used two different recipes for this kid friendly treat. Click on the links below and you will go directly to their cool websites to print off the full recipes!

*****************************************************
This is the recipe used for the Fruit Salad Cones
from Bakers Royale. 

This is the recipe used for Dark Chocolate Dipped Cones
​from Joy The Baker.
*****************************************************






Okay, crush up some candy canes.
Eat some and then put the rest in a bowl.
Picture






​Cut out some apple stars or hearts or whatever you have. Rub each slice with lemon so they won't brown.
Because I did not use JUMBO cones, I had to eventually whittle the apples down to just circles. Frowny face.
Picture





​M
elt the dark chocolate over boiling water.



​


​
Dip the cones in the melted chocolate and then the crushed candy canes or sprinkles.






Easy enough.
Picture





Now this is what I did backwards, cause yo' friend Angie ain't no 
​ rocket scientist.

I put the cones in the freezer for 10-15 for the rimmed chocolate to get hard and THEN I drizzled the chocolate inside the cone.
I should have drizzled the insides FIRST, froze and THEN dipped the rim.
​It was fine, just more....bulky to work with.
Picture




After you drizzle the inside, roll the cones around and then lay on their side and freeze again for a bit, to get the chocolate hard.



Remove from freezer and throw
Skittles in the bottom.
Picture






Set your liners in the cups.
Now remember, I used regular size cones and I should have used JUMBO cones. I did have to take scissors and cut the liners to the cup size.
Picture






Fill with the apples, blueberries and halved strawberries.

​

​
And now you have a tray of candy filled ice cream cones dipped in chocolate with fresh fruit.
Picture
Picture
I hope you try this sometime, it's great for any holiday or party or just a special treat to keep the
kids happy.
Oh who am I kidding, it's fun for adults too!










Okay, in closing, here's a couple other shiny sparkly things that make me happy, like the ice cream cones did.
Picture
This is my tree skirt made out of Kaffe Fassett fabric that my Ma was so kind to make for me.
​




​My room and tree are small, so I fold the skirt in half under the tree and it's sooooooo soft.
Picture


​
​The colors are not traditional and their bright shininess makes me squee!
Picture

​



​
Another bright and shiny thing is one and only grandchild,
​6 year old
Boy Blue, playing drums on his dad's set.
Picture



On Christmas Day,
Boy Blue, his engineer/musician dad, and his
​Grandpa Tim all had a jam session.
Picture





I believe the jam session ended with Grandpa Tim's best AC/DC guitar solo.
Picture





​Lastly, Cactus Jack is 7 months old.
​
He's an inside cat who goes outside sometimes.

This week was his first time seeing snow.

Okay, that's all I have for today!
​

Thanks so much for checking in!

It's arctic cold out there so stay warm!
Drink some hot chocolate with tons of tiny marshmallows!

Note to self: Add tiny marshmallows to grocery list.



​Have a safe and warm New Year's Eve
​ and we'll talk at ya soon!
