After having such great success with my Halloween Popcorn Balls last week, I decided to give it another go. But this time I tried a marshmallow recipe, as last weeks popcorn balls were made with a corn syrup and jello recipe. Today we made some fun Popcorn Ball Ice Cream Cones for Halloween.
I still had the dining room table covered from a little Halloween party we had over the weekend, and the vinyl tablecloth provided Mom and I with a great work space and easy cleanup. These are going to be such a fun after school treat for my nieces nephew today.
Instructions
Step 1: I really like this popcorn ball recipe, because it’s all done in the microwave. The marshmallows are such a nice binding agent. The recipe we used is at the bottom of this post.
Step 2: After your popcorn ball mixture has been prepared, fill your ice cream cones with some seasonal candies. We used Candy Corn M&Ms. Not only is it a nice surprise when you get down to the cone, but it also helps with weight distribution. Otherwise, your cones will be very top heavy.
Step 3: Good Cook provided us with a fun kit to make our popcorn balls. We used the Good Cook Popcorn Baller to shape our popcorn balls. This time we didn’t fill the baller completely, because the balls would have been a little too big for our ice cream cones.
Step 4: After each ball is shaped, dip it into some festive Halloween sprinkles.
Step 5: You can never have too many sprinkles.

Oooh too cute! These cones are super creative 🙂
Those are so cute and look yummy. I bet my daughter’s class would like them for their party.
That’s so cute and original. I love that idea.
I LOVE THESE!!! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to make them!
Good tip on putting the M&M’s down in the cone. They even look like drippy ice cream. Neat!
That is such a cute idea! I pinned it to my Halloween board.
So cute – you’d never guess from far away that they weren’t ice cream (except for the fact that they aren’t melting 🙂 )
Those look so cool! A totally unique way to make “ice cream” cones 🙂
My mom made popcorn balls each Halloween. I hope to continue the tradition with my own children. This will be a nice twist.
