How to make Hot Chocolate Waffle Cones
Prepare the Waffle Cones
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip the rims of the waffle cones into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Roll the chocolate-dipped rims into crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or mini marshmallows to decorate.
Stand the cones upright in a cup or cone holder and let the chocolate harden.
Make the Hot Chocolate
Mix milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sugar over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Whisk until the cocoa and sugar dissolve.
Add the chopped chocolate, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.
Assemble the Hot Chocolate Waffle Cones
Carefully pour the hot chocolate into the prepared waffle cones, filling them almost to the top.
Add your favorite toppings: a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or crushed cookies for extra flair.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately while the hot chocolate is warm, and the waffle cones are crisp.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the chocolate on the cones is fully hardened before filling to prevent leaks.
Use a cone holder to keep the cones upright while filling and serving.
