Mini Ice Cream Lolli Pop Cones Featuring Guest Contributor Kelli Hall

Mini ice cream lollipop cones, perfect for your next party favor!  Featuring the talented  Kelli Hall, she’s amazing at everything from good design to chic party style + easy DIY’s! Here’s a simple idea for a quick treat (or favor!) to serve at any birthday bash: Mini Ice Cream Lollipops. They’re super easy to put together + the ingredients are available in most grocery and or big box stores…so you won’t spend hours hunting down hard-to-find sweets.

You’ll need
• 1 box of Joy Mini Ice Cream Cones (you can buy these in most Wal-Mart stores)
• Several round gourmet lollipops (I’ve used this version)
• Rainbow Sprinkles
• 1 tube white frosting
• Scissors

Step 1 | Unwrap and trim one of the gourmet lollipops to fit the mini cone (I suggest about 1” or less)

Step 2 | Fill the mini cone with sprinkles, leaving some space between the top rim of the cone.

Step 3 | (Optional) You can line the inner edge with a tube of icing or clear decorating gel. This will help seal the sprinkles and bind the lollipop to the cone edge. I’d suggest doing this if you’re serving these on a tray. If you prefer send these home as favors, you can skip this step and simply wrap them in decorative cellophane.

Step 4 | Insert your lollipop into the sprinkles and it will fit snugly in the cone.

Tips:
• Most stores will sell gourmet lollipops in pre-sealed packs or in racks near the front counter

• These will hold up perfectly for several days in drier months and indoors. If you plan on making these in the summer and serving on a humid day outdoors, plan to make them the day of the party to keep the lollipops from getting too sticky.
