Need a last minute treat to take with you to your Christmas celebration?
Grab some chocolate waffle cones and turn them into Rudolph Cones then fill them with your favorite Christmas treat.

My Rudolph Cones are stuffed with chocolate drizzled caramel corn and they are packaged up to use as prizes for our Christmas Eve party.

It has become a tradition for our family to invite friends, who would otherwise be alone. to our Christmas eve celebration. It’s become one of my favorite nights of the year.

Everyone brings an appetizer to share so there’s always great food to eat. I’m in charge of  making all the desserts and planning the entertainment.

We have a white elephant gift exchange which is always good for a few laughs. Then we play a few games just to get everyone in a festive mood.

The guests love playing the games and winning fun prizes, most of which are homemade treats.

This year, the game winners will get to choose from these Rudolph Cones, Olaf Candy Bars, Rudolph Candy Bars, Snowflake Pretzel Pops, and Christmas Gummy Candies.

Being I have so much to make at this time of year, I try to keep the treats I use for the prizes pretty simple.

These Rudolph were so easy to make using the jumbo candy eyes and antlers from a Reindeer Cupcake Decorating Kit from Wilton. I wanted big red noses, so I opted to use Mega sized candy coated chocolates instead of the black jelly beans that come with the kit, although they would work too.

You can find these kits at craft stores, Target, and Walmart.

I also found chocolate waffle cones at Walmart, but plain waffle cones would work too.

To give as prizes, I packaged each of my Rudolph Cones in clear disposable pastry bags then tied them with a ribbon.
