Ingredients

  • 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
  • Assorted colorful candy decorations
  • 12 ice cream cones

Directions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  2. Dip each ice cream cone into the melted chocolate, ensuring that the cone is fully coated. Use a spoon to help coat the cone if needed.
  3. Place the chocolate-coated cones on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  4. Once the chocolate has hardened, use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small hole to pipe a little chocolate onto the bottom of each cone, acting as a glue to attach the decorations.
  5. Let your creativity shine! Use the colorful candies to decorate the trees, creating a festive and vibrant look. You can make them resemble Christmas trees by adding tiny candy ornaments and a star on top.
  6. Refrigerate the decorated cones for another 10 minutes to set the decorations.
