Chocolate-Dipped Waffle Cone Crunch

Serves 4 · 20 min prep · 2 min cook

Ingredients

• 4 waffle cones
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 pint chocolate ice cream
• 1/3 cup crushed pretzels
• 1/4 cup toffee bits
• 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. 1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set out a tall glass for each waffle cone so they can stand upright after dipping.
2. 2Combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth, about 60 to 90 seconds total.
3. 3Hold each waffle cone by the tip and dip the open rim into the melted chocolate, twisting slowly so a thick band coats the top inch of the cone.
4. 4While the chocolate is still wet, roll the dipped rim in crushed pretzels and toffee bits, then sprinkle flaky sea salt over the coating.
5. 5Stand the cones upright on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for 10 to 12 minutes until the chocolate shell is set and snappy.
6. 6Let the chocolate ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for 5 minutes so it scoops cleanly without cracking the cone.
7. 7Fill each chocolate-rimmed waffle cone with generous scoops of chocolate ice cream, pressing gently so the crisp cone holds the weight.
8. 8Serve immediately so the waffle cone stays crunchy against the cold ice cream and the chocolate shell cracks with each bite.
