Description
Our gourmet style ice cream cones are actually made of hot chocolate mix and marshmallows. Make a batch to keep on hand for unexpected guests or to put on top of Christmas stockings.

Craft Instructions
1) Empty the two pouches of hot chocolate mix into one of the pastry bags.

3) Place this into the second pastry bag and fold the top of the first bag down over the hot chocolate.

5) Gather the bag above the marshmallows and tie with a piece of curling ribbon.

| Pour the hot chocolate mix into the first pastry bag & cut the top off. |
You actually fold the top down after it is inserted in the second bag but I have shown it here so you can see it more clearly. |

| Place the pastry bag with the cocoa into a second pastry bag. |
Add mini marshmallows, gather and tie with curling ribbon. |
6) Make a tag with the following instructions:
Divide the ingredients evenly between two mugs and add 6 ounces of hot (not boiling) water or milk to each cup. Stir. |
7) Punch a hole in the corner of the tag and attach these directions to the cone by threading the curling ribbon through the hole you punched and tying the ribbon. Curl the ends of the ribbon.
