Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cones Sugar waffle cones
- 1 cup Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 cup Roasted nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or peanuts)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese crackers
- 2 cups Popcorn (lightly salted)
- 8 pieces Optional ribbon or string for decoration
Instructions
Start by gently heating the pointed ends of the sugar waffle cones using your hands or a warm, damp cloth to slightly soften them. Carefully curl the ends upward to create the classic cornucopia shape. Allow them to cool and harden in this shape.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini pretzels, candy-coated chocolates, dried cranberries or raisins, roasted nuts, cheddar cheese crackers, and popcorn. Mix gently to create an even assortment.
Carefully fill each waffle cone with the snack mixture, ensuring each cone has a good balance of flavors and textures.
If desired, tie a decorative ribbon or string around the top of each cone to secure the snacks and add a festive touch.
Arrange the filled cones on a platter or tray and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
