☕🍬 Sugar Cone Tea Cups

Adorable, edible, chocolate‑dipped tea cups made from simple ingredients — and guaranteed to steal the show.

Cute enough to make you squeal and easy enough to make in your sleep — these Sugar Cone Tea Cups are the treat you didn’t know you needed.

 

 

Let’s talk about the kind of treat that doesn’t just sit politely on a platter — it poses for photos. The kind that makes people hover awkwardly close to the dessert table because they “just need to look at them again.” The kind that makes your kitchen smell like chocolate and childhood joy all at once. The kind that makes your family wander in asking, “WHAT are those?!” even though you literally just dipped a cone in chocolate like the domestic goddess you are.

These Sugar Cone Tea Cups are exactly that kind of recipe.

They’re cute, whimsical, chocolate‑dipped, peanut‑buttery, crunchy, sweet, and unapologetically irresistible. They’re the kind of treat that makes people close their eyes on the first bite and whisper, “Oh… oh wow.”

This recipe is a celebration of simple ingredients doing the absolute most:

• Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies for the perfect saucer
• Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups for the base
• Sugar cones for the cup
• Circle pretzels for the handle
• Chocolate candy melts for the glue that holds the magic together

It’s the kind of recipe that works for birthday parties, tea parties, baby showers, bridal showers, school events, church socials, or those “I need something adorable RIGHT NOW” moments.

Why these tea cups deserve a permanent spot in your rotation:

• They’re EASY — shockingly easy
• They’re FAST — ready in minutes
• They’re CROWD‑PLEASING — kids and adults lose their minds
• They’re MAKE‑AHEAD FRIENDLY — no melting, no collapsing
• They’re INSTAGRAM‑READY — like, viral‑ready

I’m getting so excited for spring and Easter! Everything seems so new and fresh and outdoor activities are endless. I have always loved having picnics with my kids and tea parties with my cute girls!

Last month, I was asked to do a food demonstration at enrichment night. I was thrilled to be asked but didn’t realize how big of a task it was going to be since Zac’s wedding had been two days before! I never can do just one thing, so I always make it a harder task than it has to be. I’m a little crazy!

I was so excited to make these because they are so darn cute and I love the idea that you get to eat the whole thing! The best thing is there is no baking! Can imagine serving this at a bridal shower, baby shower, or fun tea party with your cuties.

 

Sugar Cone Tea Cups

Ingredients:

• Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies
• Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups
• ice cream sugar cones
• circle pretzels
• chocolate candy melts

Sugar Cone Tea Cups

Directions:

• FYI: Have everything unwrapped, cut, and ready to assemble. This will make it so much easier to put them together.
• Cut the sugar cones to 1 1/2 inches. Use a serrated knife, and slowly saw back and forth to avoid breaking the cone. Make sure the cone’s seam is on the bottom and not where you are cutting the cone. I broke a couple at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.
• Using your serrated knife, slowly cut your pretzels to make a circle handle.
• Place your chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until the chocolate is melted.
• Start with the cookie and then put a dab of the melted chocolate in the center.
• Place an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup on top of the chocolate that is on the cookie.
• Put the cut ice cream cone on top of Reese’s cup. I took a little extra chocolate and dabbed it inside to seal the seams.
• Dip the ends of the pretzel cut off edges and attach it to the side of the ice cream cone. You will need to hold it in place for a few seconds so the chocolate will set.
• Fill it with your favorite filling. We made pudding but it would taste amazing with cheesecake! This tastes best served the same day as the day you prepare it.
