DIY Dipped Ice Cream Cones

Is it too early to start planning for 4th of July? I think not! DIY Dipped Ice Cream Cones are happening this year and I'm counting down the days!

A few months back we spent a day in the studio dreaming up all sorts of delicious kind of toppings for an ice cream cone! Because what's better than polishing off 2 scoops of ice cream and then getting to eat a delicious waffle cone dipped in chocolate and smothered with more treats? Basically nothing.

These are the perfect project for 4th of July, or a weekend cookout, or any other day you deem appropriate for ice cream - which is basically everyday as long as it's over 70 degrees.

You can use anything you want to crumble up and sprinkle on top of these. I used an assortment of maldon sea salt, sprinkles, kettle corn, peppermint candies and cocoa nibs. Oreos would be another great idea - or those little mini m&m's! I mean, the list could go on for days - which is 100% acceptable because summer is upon us and it's time for some ice cream!
