Not that we could ever get tired of ice cream, but the cleverness of these rice krispie treat cones are too good not to share. Make them for a party or snack and watch the kids delight in the secrets they hold inside!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- Cones
- Candy melts in the colors of your choice
- Sprinkles
- Small candies to put inside the cones
Directions
- Melt butter in a large pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies. I usually let this sit long enough to cool off a bit, it sticks together better and is easier to work with. Spray an ice cream scoop and your hands with Pam. Using the scoop, form ice cream scoops out of the Krispie treat mixture. Set scoops on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and stick in the freezer for several minutes to set up.
- While the Krispie scoops are setting up, melt the candy melts in a bowl according to the instructions on the bag. Remove scoops from freezer and dip in the melted candy. You may have to roll the scoop around to completely cover it. Place scoops on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with toppings while still wet. Place tray in freezer until candy coating has hardened.
- Fill cones with candy. Spread melted candy on the tops of the cones and place a finished scoop on top. Press down and place in the refrigerator or freezer until set. This will stick the scoop to the cone and prevent it from falling off.
