From: Brian Patrick FlynnMelt the white candy coating in a microwave following package instructions. Stir until completely smooth.
Dip the ice cream cones into the melted candy. If your container isn't deep enough for full submersion, gently roll the cone on its side. Let excess candy drip off.
Dust the wet cones with sanded sugar, pearl sugar, or sprinkles. Hold with two fingers to prevent marks, sprinkling over a bowl to catch extras for later touch-ups. For waffle cones, slightly break the bottom to ensure they stand upright before coating.
Stand cones on parchment or wax paper to set. This is ideal for fixing any bare spots—they harden quickly and become sturdy. Simply place atop cakes or cupcakes for effortless holiday flair.
