[vicloo]

Do you mean the cone itself? Or the filled hot cocoa cone?

[steph3306]

Just the come itself. I was going to try and make some for christmas.

I use disposable piping bags that I get from hobby lobby HTH :)

[mommytwotwins]

I made them last year and I also used the disposable iceing bags. You can get them at any craft store. They make great gifts!

[steph3306]

I would have never thought of that. Thought they where some kind of "special" bag. Thanks

Amazon had some great prices in their clearance section for cocoa. Hope it helps!!!

The kids and I, made these last year, for both of their classes. We used regular rectangle shaped bags and folded each corner up onto the back and just attached a bit of clear tape. I was looking for the cone bags too and couldn't find them. So, I had these bags from another project and they worked great!!! Just make sure you don't buy the type with the gusset. They were a huge hit. They had hot chocolate, chocolate chips (white and choc.) and marshmallows....and a snowman ornament tied to the outside!

I made these last year with my daughter and we used the wilton disposable piping bags and used a rubber band on the top with ribbon over it along with a dag containing instructions on how to make the cocoa. Turned out great!

Searching the web I found basic recipe with a how to video

and a site that had some pretty fancy ones that looked pretty neat. She made it seem easy to do. I'd like to try making the christmas trees and the santa's. I hope that they would turn out half as good as these.

This really sounds like a great gift idea! Thanks!! I seen some posted on the ltd website and thought about getting them. But I can do them much cheaper! :)

I was going to make the hot chocolate last year. By the time I added up all the ingredients it was less expensive to buy two super large containers already made at Costco or Sam's. We put the HC...layer of chocolate chips and then the mini marshmallows. We tied it with some raffia and put a little ornament with a little string tag with directions. They were really cute!!:D:D

LOL...that is too funny....

I read the topic and was thinking SO hard of what they would be....I have a HUGE box of like 100 piping bags for my cake decorating, and it didn't even cross my mind that it was those....LOL.

Gotta try these this for my son's class.

[juanadeal]

Bumping this up. I just made them for my son's class. They're not as neat as I would have liked but they sure look good!

[krucook]

You can get the decorating bags at candy supplies but also at Walmart, Target, JoAnn's and Michaels. fyi
