Chocolate Pudding Sprinkle Cones

Instead of ice cream, these colorful cones hold creamy pudding that's topped with rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch. They also make a good party treat. They're best made ahead of time and refrigerated for about four hours before serving.

Ingredients:

• 6 ice cream wafer cones, flat bottom, multi-color pack (green, pink, and beige)
• 1 3.9 ounce package Jell-O® instant chocolate pudding mix (you can also use the sugar-free variety)
• 2 cups skim milk, cold
• Colored sprinkles

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, prepare chocolate pudding mix according to package directions (adding cold skim milk, whip approximately 5-10 minutes until pudding becomes thick).
2. Pour chocolate pudding evenly into six flat-bottom cones.
3. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon multi-colored sprinkles on top of each pudding cone.
4. Place in refrigerator for at least one hour. Be sure to set the cones on a stable tray or tight-fitting container to keep them from falling over.

6 cones
