DIY Sugar Cone Cornucopias
What Does Cornucopias Mean?
Cornucopia is the combination of two words, cornucopia and copious.
Also called the horn of plenty.
A symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with fruits, vegetables, flowers, nuts, and seeds.
Here is a modern version made out of ice cream sugar cones and a mixture of nuts, seeds, candy corn, and other sweet treats. You can fill these with anything that will fit. Stuff it and wrap up for a lovely gift on Thanksgiving.
Supplies and Ingredients:
- sugar cones (ice cream cones)
- snack mix (like a mixture of nuts, seeds, candy corn, etc.)
- paper towel
- paper plate
- water
- microwave
Instructions:
- Fold a paper towel into a strip about two inches wide. Dampen the paper toweling and squeeze out the extra water. Wrap the paper towel around the bottom tip of a sugar cone so that it is completely covered.
- Place wrapped sugar cone on a microwave safe plate. Put in the microwave on high for 20 seconds. Remove the sugar cone and carefully check for flexibility. If the cone’s tip is not soft enough to bend, re wet the paper towel and wrap the sugar cone again. Return to the microwave for another 20 seconds but watch carefully as the sugar cone can burn.
- When the sugar cone tip is soft enough to bend, gently press the tip against the paper plate. To get more of a curl on the tip, wrap the cone around your finger. Allow the cone to cool completely before filling with your favorite snack mix, candies, etc.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
