While Hurricane Irene was whipping up a storm outside, I took the opportunity to whip up some goodies in the kitchen. My kids love popcorn and since they're allergic to milk that limits our fun with ice cream, so we often celebrate with sorbet. Not knowing what the weather would bring I didn't want to stock up on too much frozen stuff, so instead we made these adorable popcorn ice cream cones. I think these would add a creative and fun flare to an ice cream social or a kid's party menu. Let me know how you use them.

To make these follow the instructions for rice krispies treats and replace the rice krispies with popcorn*. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and use an ice cream scoop to help shape the popcorn. To get a more rounded shape let them cool few minutes, then using your hands and some parchment paper shape into nicely formed round balls. Place on top of the cones and press to stick to the cone. Roll the cones into your favorite sprinkles. Finito!
You'll need:
*Popcorn Kernels (approx. 1/2 cup)

*Follow the manufacturer's directions for popping the kernels.
