Servings 8 ice cream cones

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup red candy melts
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • 1 cup blue candy melts
  • 2 to 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 ice cream cones
  • Assorted sprinkles

Instructions 

  • Set aside 8 drinking glasses. (This is where you’ll stand up the dipped cones so they can dry and harden.)
  • Add each color of the candy melts to separate small microwave-safe bowls. Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to each bowl.
  • Microwave each bowl of candy melts (one at a time) for 30 seconds then stir and microwave an additional 15 to 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Repeat the microwaving process with the remaining two bowls of candy melts.
  • Working quickly, dip and decorate the ice cream cones with the candy melts then immediately add sprinkles, as the candy melts will harden quickly.
  • Stand the cones upright in glasses (pointed side down) and let them sit at room temperature or in the fridge until the candy melts fully harden. Serve.

Kelly's Notes

  • If the candy melts are still too thick after microwaving them, thin the mixture with additional vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it is thin enough to dip.
