A healthy and fun snack for kids and perfect for parties too. Waffle cones dipped in chocolate and filled with lots of fresh fruit!

Chocolate Dipped Fruit Cones. A fantastic healthy snack for kids. Perfect for parties too! | My Fussy Eater BlogSome of my most popular and most requested recipes to date are snacks for kids. It seems that a lot of you struggle to think of healthy snacks to your children won’t turn their nose up at. And you’re not alone. I do too! One of the best snacks we can give our kids is fruit. It’s fresh, healthy and convenient but in a child’s eyes it just doesn’t compare to a tempting chocolate bar or bag of crisps!

In an attempt to make fruit a little more exciting and enticing to our picky eaters I made these Chocolate Dipped Cones and filled them with a selection of colourful fruit. Getting the kids involved in the kitchen really helps to get them a lot more interested in the food they eat. Older children can help chop the fruit whilst younger ones choose which berries to include. They will all enjoy dipping the cones into the chocolate and deciding what to decorate them with!

Description

A healthy and fun snack for kids and perfect for parties too. Waffle cones dipped in chocolate and filled with lots of fresh fruit!


Ingredients

  • Chocolate Dipped Waffle Cones
  • 6 waffle ice cream cones
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 50g dark chocolate
  • Waffle Cone Toppings
  • bee pollen
  • shredded coconut
  • sprinkles
  • Fruit Toppings
  • grapes
  • mango
  • strawberries
  • blueberries

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over a low heat for a couple of minutes until it has melted, stirring continuously to ensure that it doesn’t burn. You can also do this in a microwave, but again, remember to keep checking it say every 30 seconds to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate and coconut oil into a small but fairly deep bowl ready to dip the cones in.
  3. Dip each of the waffle cones into the melted chocolate and coconut mixture.
  4. Dip each of the waffle cones into your chosen waffle cone toppings.
  5. Fill each of the chocolate dipped waffle cones with fruit of your choice.
  6. Serve immediately.

    These are so pretty! I had a Wiggles theme party and these were a nice twist on “Fruit Salad.” I featured a link to this recipe on my blog as well. 🙂

    I noticed one of the trackbacks said what I thought. Folks may want to cut up those grapes as whole they are a choking hazard especially for young kids.

    Can I ask why the coconut oil with the chocolate? Not something I’ve got as I’ve never used it.
    Thanks!

      The oil helps the chocolate to melt without burning but you can leave it out if you like, its not essential!

    Hi. Just see your fruit cones. I would like your permission to use this idea for me to recreated this and sell and advertise your idea for my kids party catering business. Would this be something I could do. As these look delicious especially for kids parties.

    Making these for my son’s birthday party tomorrow. I’m quite excited. We’re vegan, so we’re always looking to impress people with how great we eat, since many think we eat only bland, boring food. These will look great on the table! Thanks for the fun idea!

    What did you use for the grease proof paper? Is it wax paper?

    Love this idea and can’t wait to try it with my grand daughters, but I think i’ll try a marshmallow in the cone instead of the paper that way it’s all edible. Thanks for sharing.
