Once your cones are ready, simply top your plain vanilla cupcakes with melted chocolate.

We used microwavable Baker’s dipping chocolate for our cupcakes, but you could just use the melting chocolate of your choice.

Use a toothpick to work the chocolate a bit and give it that drippy, melted, look.

Add sprinkles.

Ingredients
 

  • 6 unfrosted vanilla cupcakes prepared according to directions on package
  • 6 ice cream cones
  • 1 container dipping chocolate microwavable
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 tub white frosting

Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the top rim of each ice cream cone. Discard the rims, as you will be only using the bottoms for this recipe.
  • Melt chocolate per package instructions. Using a spoon, pour a small amount of chocolate onto the top of each cupcake. Use a toothpick as needed to help spread the chocolate out and into "drips" going down the side of cupcakes.
  • Add sprinkles immediately, before the chocolate begins to set.
  • Allow cupcakes to set until the chocolate hardens (about 20 minutes).
  • Using a small cookie dough scoop, add a scoop of frosting on top of the chocolate on each cupcake.
  • Gently press an ice cream cone into each cupcake, on top of the scoop of frosting.
  • Finish by adding a few sprinkles to the frosting.
