Having a Party?

Double the recipe! A standard muffin tin has twelve cups, perfect for making a big batch of these. When it's time for dessert, just pull out the prepared pan and prepare for happy squeals.

  • Place 6 parchment squares or nonstick cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Sprinkle chopped nuts onto each liner.

  • Spoon a small bit of magic shell into each sugar cone. Add equal amount of ice cream to each cone, and push one caramel square into the center of the ice cream.

  • When all cones have been filled, pour desired amount of magic shell over the nuts in the muffin tin. Quickly turn the filled cones upside down into the tins.

  • Freeze entire pan for 1–2 hours. If not consuming within 24 hours, cover entire cone in plastic wrap after 2 hours.
