What toppings do you add to these Rice Krispie ice cream cones?
You can treat these faux ice cream cones just like regular ones. We like to add on a ton of sprinkles but you can do hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or basically anything else that you’d like to add as well.
Whatever flavor and taste the kids want, let them have fun and add to this simple treat.
