    Hi everyone. I'm Melissa from Kid Friendly Things To Do. I'm so happy to be back for a second visit to Beth's wonderfully creative blog! Thanks for having me again, Beth. If we are just meeting for the first time...I am a stay at home mom of four cute little rug-rats, a Field Editor for Taste of Home, where I create and review recipes, and a former elementary school teacher. My blog, Kid Friendly Things To Do, is my platform for sharing my family friendly recipes, crafts, and fun foods (or food crafts) for holidays and special occasions.

    Today, I am excited to share a holiday fun food creation with you all. This is an easy to make Santa Suit Ice Cream cone. The cones can be made in advance of your party, so all you have to do is scoop some vanilla ice cream out for your anxiously awaiting guests! Here's my simple how to for these chocolate Santa suits.

    Chocolate Covered Ice Cream Cone Santa Suits

    You'll need:

    Ice Cream Cones - try to find ones with a rounded brim for Santa's big belly

    Red Chocolate Melts

    Black Chocolate Melts

    Gold Decorating Gel

    Gold Sprinkles

    Additional Items:

    Wax Paper lined baking pans

    Glass Bowls - I used a 1 quart size bowl for the red chocolate, and a 2 cup size bowl for the black

    Something to stir the melts, such as silicone spoons

    Gold Decorating Gel

    Additional Items:

    Glass Bowls - I used a 1 quart size bowl for the red chocolate, and a 2 cup size bowl for the black

    Something to stir the melts, such as silicone spoons

    Instructions:

    • Melt your red chocolate melts according to the package directions - I like to pour mine in a glass bowl, and pop it into the microwave for about 1 minute, stir, and put it back in for 30 seconds, and stir until melted and smooth
    • Hold the ice cream cone upside down and push it into the center of the melted chocolate, going down until the brim of the cone is covered
    • Spin the cone to distribute the melted chocolate evenly
    • Pull the cone up and transfer the cone to your wax paper to dry

    • Place the cones upside down on wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry
    • If it is not drying as fast as you'd like, place it in a cool area to set up quickly, like the freezer, or the refrigerator

    • While the red chocolate is drying, melt the black chocolate melts
    • When you're ready, push the cone down into the black chocolate, only covering about ⅓ of the red chocolate
    • Spin the cone to cover the entire top surface
    • Place upside down on the wax paper to dry

    • Once the black chocolate is dry, you're ready for the gold belt
    • Use the gold gel to make a square on the black portion of the suit
    • Add gold sprinkles to the gel
    • Set your cones back down one more time so the gel can firm up, a bit

    • You're done! They are ready for some ice-cream!
    • *You can make these ahead of time, and store them in an air tight container in a cool dry place until your big event. I plan on doing, just that!

    Thank you for allowing me to visit again, Beth. I'm truly honored. And, thanks to everyone else, for allowing me to introduce myself. If you enjoyed this fun food craft, then you might enjoy some of my other creations, as well...such as:
