Oh boy! Do I have a cute and yummy project for you. These little creations are called cocoa cones, although you can use hot cocoa, hot chocolate or even flavored coffee. Giving these cones as a small gift is a great idea. Or you can just make them up, have a small get together and give them as a favor.
Everyone who I gave them to, loved them. They are probably the easiest of my projects, yet, to make so I hope you’ll give them a try.

Here is what you will need to get started:
- Two 12 inch clean disposable pastry bags (plastic)
- Two packages of instant hot cocoa or hot chocolate (like Swiss Miss)
- ½ cup of mini marshmallows (I got the multicolored ones)
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Curling ribbon
- Card stock
- A hole punch
Empty the two packages of hot cocoa/chocolate into one of the pastry bags. Cut off the top of the pastry bag about 2 inches above where the chocolate mix ends.
Put the filled pastry bag into the second bag and fold the top of the first bag down over the hot chocolate.
Put about ½ cup of mini marshmallows into the second bag on top of the hot chocolate mix. You can put some sprinkles in at this time if you’d like.
Gather the bag and tie it with a twist tie to keep it secured. Put the curling ribbon over the twist tie and make a bow. Curl the ends of the ribbon hanging from the bow.
Make up a tag with the following instructions: “Divide the ingredients evenly between two mugs and add 6 ounces of hot water or milk to each cup. Stir and Enjoy!
Cut out the instructions and glue them to a piece of card stock. Punch a hole in the end of the card stock, insert some ribbon into the hole and tie the instructions to the top of the pastry bag.
You can add to this project by placing the cocoa cone in a small basket with a couple of decorative mugs and a small bag of home made cookies.
