Now that the warmer weather is rolling in across the country, it is unofficially ice cream season. Ok, so who am I kidding–ice cream season is year round across some of the country! However, here in New England, the our start of the ice cream cone season has just begun. That is why I thought it would be cute to make some Candy Coated Ice Cream Cones to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with.
This year, for my daughter’s birthday celebrations I thought it would be cute to take waffle cones and dip them in melted chocolate and decorate them with colorful candies. They just scream spring, and fun times! I mean who doesn’t love ice cream? 
I know we are all LOVING the Blue Bunny® ice cream flavors we recently picked up from Walmart. In fact, I made two different trips for more flavors since they were all so good!
Have you tried Blue Bunny® ice cream? It now comes in clear packaging which makes it fun for the kids and adults alike to see the flavor swirls or mix-ins inside. For my daughter’s birthday, we picked up some Blue Bunny® Homemade Vanilla, Blue Bunny® Mint Chocolate Chip, and Blue Bunny® Butter Pecan flavors. Honestly, they all looked amazing, but my daughter wanted those flavors for her and her friends.
Since I wanted the kids to have fun, I dipped the cones in the candy, but I also added extra candies in cupcakes liners for them to top their Blue Bunny® ice cream cones with. They had such a blast piling their cones high and adding spring-colored candies to their creations.
Want to make these Candy Coated Ice Cream Cones? Here is what you’l’ need:
- Crushed Candies, Small Candies, chocolate chips
- Waffle Sugar Cones
- Melting chocolate
- Microwave safe bowl
- wax paper lined baking sheet
- Cupcake liners, scoops
After you melt your chocolate, dip each cone about an inch into the chocolate, and then into the candy coatings of your choice. 
Gently place upright on wax paper, and repeat all all your cones are coated. 
Allow the cones to harden for at least 30 mins.
To enjoy, fill your cones with your choice of Blue Bunny® ice cream. 
We used Blue Bunny® Homemade Vanilla for our adult cones and oh my gosh was it so stinkin’ good!
What type of Blue Bunny® ice cream would you like to try? 
There are so many flavors to chose from at your local Walmart store!
This is just plain brilliant! I NEED to make some of these for me & the kids.
Yes, please, may I have some? Not sure why I never think of ice cream cones at home.
How great is that?! I can’t think of a better way to enjoy some ice cream than with those candy coated cones. They look so fun.
Now these ice cream cones look delicious. I have such a sweet tooth for ice cream and love Blue Bunny! Thanks so much for the ideas!
I love this idea! It looks so yummy. Now I have to find gluten free cones so we can try it!
I love that idea! I am a kid at heart myself, so not only would the kids love to do this I would too! YUM!
These are great for springtime and will be perfect for my daughter’s upcoming Mermaid birthday pool party! Thanks for the fun inspiration. #client
The colors are just perfect for a springtime ice cream social. I love how simple it is to pull together something extraordinary.
These look so yummy! There’s nothing like a special ice cream treat in the spring or summer.

What a fun way to spruce up cones! This would make such a fun birthday party idea
I love how easy these are to do!! What a great treat to make, love the fun spring colors.
Absolutely precious! What a fun idea for the warmer weather. The kids will love these!
I will have to try adding candy to my cones this summer. What a great treat. We don’t carry Blue Bunny here in Canada though.
These ice cream cones look so delicious and easy to make. I will have to get the ingredients i need to make these this weekend.
My kids are going to love these cones. They will be fun to make and delicious to eat.
I love this idea! It can really jazz up a normal ice cream cone!
Never thought of making my cones like this. Looks simple and DELICIOUS. That ice cream though, looks amazing.
So cute and so much fun ! I want to go do this right now !
Since my daughter is off to college I will make these for my husband, whose like a kid drooling when he sees ice cream! These cones are so cute!
OMG I Need 2 Win Something!!!
How far in advance can these be made and can you use sugar cones?
I would make these the same day since the cones so stale quickly.
