No-Bake, Teacup Treats

Remember that scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where he drinks the tea and then eats the cup? Well, here's a step-by-step guide to making your own deliciously edible cup-and-saucers.

The best part of making these sweet teacup cookies? No baking required!

Ingredients:

  • Vanilla sandwich cookie wafers
  • Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups
  • Ice cream sugar cones (top 1-1/2 inch)
  • Circle pretzels (found in Chex Mix Sweet 'n Salty Honey Nut mix)
  • Chocolate frosting (chocolate pudding, chocolate ganache, etc.)
  • Chocolate or vanilla candy melts

1

Step one

Cut the sugar cones to 1-1/2 inches. To avoid breaking them, dip the bottoms in warm water for 20 seconds. Using a serrated knife, trim off where the wet area meets the dry. Allow these to dry completely before assembling.

2

Step two

Separate the cookie wafers and clean off filling.

3

Step three

Trim off one small piece of the circle pretzels to create two handle points.

4

Step four

Melt two ounces of chocolate or vanilla candy melts in a zip-top bag in the microwave (twice for 30 seconds usually does the trick).

5

Step five

Snip off the corner of the zip-top bag and dab a little candy melt in the center of the cookie wafers.

6

Step six

Place unwrapped Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups on top of the candy melt on the cookie wafers.

7

Step seven

Place the cut ice cream cones on top of the Reese's cups.

8

Step eight

Pipe more of the candy melt inside the ice cream cones, where the edge meets the Reese's cup.

9

Step nine

Pipe frosting, pudding or ganache inside the ice cream cones.

10

Step ten

Add a dab of candy melt to the cut off edges of the circle pretzels and attach them to the sides of the ice cream cones. You may need to hold them in place for a few seconds until the candy melt holds firmly and stays in place.

Helpful hints: Have everything unwrapped, cut, trimmed and ready to assemble. If your candy melt starts to harden, just microwave the zip-top bag for 20 to 30 seconds to soften.

Note: These are best served on the same day as preparation. The frosting, pudding or ganache filling tends to soften the sugar cone the longer it sits.

im making these for my foods project, could anyone tell me a general cost for this recipe??

Sherri May 08, 2013 | 4:16 PM

You could use butter cookies instead of sandwich cookies. They are scalloped and you would not have to clean off the inside.

Donna May 08, 2013 | 10:21 AM

you could put tiny marshmallows on top to look like cocoa or tiny sprinkles. Do you really need the peanut butter cup?

nelia comision May 08, 2013 | 12:50 AM

tina May 05, 2013 | 8:43 PM

Sara and I love these!!

If you need to make them the day before try this: Using a food safe paint brush (the flat kind that's about 1/4" wide to brush the inside of the cone (cup) with melted white chocolate. You just need a thin layer. Let it completely set up before filling. It will prevent the cone from getting soggy.

just made these adorable..BUT ALOT OF WORK!!!!!!!! dont think they are easy people! i bought generic "oreos" at ocean state job lot,

Sandra April 05, 2013 | 6:45 PM

The scalloped cookie on the bottom is just a generic store brand of vanilla sandwich cookie. Nothing special, I promise.

Oma March 29, 2013 | 5:46 PM

We all would like to know what brand the Scalloped Cookies are, where can I find that posted???? Thanks.

Sweetie March 24, 2013 | 12:43 PM

Susan February 26, 2013 | 8:39 AM

This is just totally cute. We are having a bake sale at end of March, so Im going to try them then if not sooner.

Sandra February 11, 2013 | 3:14 PM

I'm not sure what brand the bottom scalloped cookie is... I made these a few years ago. But I'm pretty sure it was just a vanilla creme sandwich-type cookie. Like maybe a Murray or Famous Amos?

Jo February 09, 2013 | 8:46 AM

I love the scalloped cookies! What is the brand? I haven't seen these.

mona February 07, 2013 | 1:09 PM

Jus luv these lil cones.brilliant idea! Y not put a scoop of ice cream in them for a kids party? Also, dip the whole cone in any color candy melt.....too cute!!!

For the lady who has a husband who is allergic to peanuts- I would try using a Rollos candy. They come in a roll and are shaped the same as a small Reeses cup but are made with a caramel center instead of peanut butter.
