This easy to make treat it great for school birthday parties. It was so easy, and my 5 year old daughter loved them. Parents thought it was cut and less messy than traditional party goodies. Needless to say they were a hit.




Great Idea!!!!

I did this for my son's Thanksgiving party. I laid it sideways and called it a "Horn of Plenty". The kids went nuts. The parents were so impressed. Thanks Sandra for making me look so good!!!




Can all the tons of fun stop yapping? Didn't think so.

How many tons of women does it take to yap & yap & yap about complete nonsense? Answer: The Cassandra Crossing... Can you all just shut up. Sounds to me like you are all jealous...She's cute, thin, blonde, got her own show and let's see.... then there's all of you. And no one even knows (or cares) who you are anyway.




These made all the kids smile

Do you feel better now that you have yelled at me and put me down? Talk about feeling insecure and having no life...

I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THESE FOR MY CHILDREN'S JOINT BDAY PARTY FRIDAY. I HAD BEEN WONDERING WHAT TO SEND HOME WITH EACH CHILD AND AM SO EXCITED THAT I SAW THIS EPISODE TONIGHT. SEEMS TO ME THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SO CRITICAL OF OTHERS OBVIOUSLY HAVE MANY SHORTCOMINGS AND INSECURITIES AND FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY PUT OTHERS DOWN. HOW SAD.

These favors are FABULOUS! I agree with the person in the previous entry. You certainly made your niece's day special! You have a wonderful flair for party themes,decorating, and specialty drinks! Thanks for all the great ideas!

It's so obvious that your niece loves your ideas. Her face was glowing. If everyone's mother or aunt made them feel so special, they wouldn't have the time, desire or need to be hateful and rude to others. I love to cook from scratch, but I love your time-saving ideas, also. Thanks




Great idea!

I love the idea. I made them for my daughter's birthday party and put each of the child's name on their bag. We used them for place cards at the table. It came out really cute!!

This was so easy to do and fun. They really made great party looking party bags. Plus, I loved having my ice cream in this cone - it was an extra treat. Will definitely make again - maybe next time for myself with milk chocolate. Yummo!!

I love the simplicity of this idea and all of the possibilities it offers to use your creativity. Love a previous reviewer's idea to construct these as cornucopias. Actually I loved this whole episode but these really caught my eye!

It is so nice to have a new party favor for kids to create! I will use this idea from Sandra for years and years to come! Great idea also to add to our local bake sales by filling half full with prepared cake mix and bake. After cooled then dip in white choc melted. Decorate with favorite sprinkles. Love Semi-homemade!

Loved this! They were so easy to make with my 9 year old daughter. They looked adorable especially filled with the candies Sandra had recommended. I don't know if the chocolate dipped cones taste good but they're so cute who cares. I would definately make this again.
