Using a greased hand to shape the cereal mixture makes the process much easier and prevents sticking. Let the decorated cones cool completely before filling with ice cream, and store them wrapped in parchment paper in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy.

Instructions
Cereal Treat Waffle Cones
- Place a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat mat on your work surface. Pour the cereal into a medium bowl and have cones unwrapped and ready to go. Once the cereal treats are made, the faster you work the easier it is so it's important to have everything ready to go.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the marshmallows, stirring frequently until completely melted and mixed with the butter. Pour the butter and marshmallow mix into the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until everything is coated.
- Using a rubber spatula scoop about 1/2 cup cereal treats and start wrapping the cereal treats around the first 2 inches of the top of the cone, using the marshmallow to help stick. With a greased hand, lightly press the cereal treats to the cone. Repeat until the top of the cone is completely wrapped.
- Let the decorated waffle cones sit until cool. Fill with your favorite ice cream and enjoy. To store, wrap each cone in parchment paper then place in an airtight container.
Notes
- Prep all ingredients before starting as the cereal treats set quickly.
- Use a greased hand to help press the cereal mixture onto the cone.
- Wrap cooled cones in parchment paper for storage in an airtight container.
