Supplies Needed
These are the supplies for just one cone (or bag), so multiply these supplies by the number of treats you would like to make.

Reindeer Hot Chocolate Cones Instructions
This process is so super simple! Just follow these directions.
Step 1
Grab all of your supplies for this project.
Step 2
Open one treat bag and fold over a cup.
Step 3
Grab a second treat bag, cut off about 1/2 inch of the tip and place it inside the bag folded over the cup.
Step 4
Portion out cocoa and pour into second treat bag (this works as a funnel for your cocoa and eliminates cocoa residue)
Step 5
Carefully pull up the second bag without getting cocoa everywhere.
Step 6
Add chocolate chips (mini or regular) on top.
Step 7
Add mini marshmallows and seal with the twist tie that came inside your treat bags.
Step 8

- Fold a pipe cleaner in half and wrap around the twist tie.
- Then fold the antlers into position.
Reindeer Hot Cocoa Cones Notes
Here are a few tips to make these Rudolph cones turn out perfectly each time!
- Piping bags work for this if you can’ʼt find treat bags. Treat bags just come with the twist ties.
- Any type of cocoa can be used (but I highly recommend DIY hot cocoa mix).
How Much Hot Cocoa Does One Cone Make?
Since each 6 oz cup of hot cocoa needs 3 tablespoons of cocoa, one cocoa cone will make about 60 ounces, or 10 cups, of cocoa.
