Yields about 6 hats

Ingredients:

6 waffle cones
6 chocolate cookies
6 ounces milk chocolate
Orange icing gel
Orange sprinkles
1 tablespoon shortening or butter

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add milk chocolate and heat until melted. Remove from heat.
Working quickly while the chocolate is melted, brush the cones with the melted chocolate until they are completely covered. Add a dab of the melted chocolate to the opening of the cone and carefully secure it onto the cookie.
Using your icing gel, pipe color around the base of the cone. Add sprinkles.
Chill for at least 20 minutes or until cones have set. Use as party decor or enjoy!
