(what should we call these?)

We made these today for the Fourth of July celebration. Mom asked Jesse what we should call them, and he said "ice cream cone brownies with ice cream and sprinkles". I'm thinking we could come up with something a bit shorter.

They were a big hit. I wish I had taken a picture of a completed one. They are pretty, too.

ice cream cones (the ones with flat bottoms. What are they called???)
brownie mix (plus whatever you need to make brownie mix)
chocolate ice cream
sprinkles

Mix brownies according to directions. Set up cones on a cookie sheet. Fill each cone about 1/2 full with brownie mix. You don't want the brownie to come all the way to the top when baked. Bake until the house fills with yummy brownie aroma. Allow to cool.

Later, after bribing the kids to eat their vegetables with these, put a scoop of ice cream on the top. This is why you want the brownie to be slightly below the top of the cone. You want the ice cream to be able to be a little bit in the cone. Top with sprinkles. I believe that sprinkles should be required and, in no way, negotiable for this.

Yum! The ice cream seeps into the brownie just like it does in a brownie sundae, except it is in a nice, portable cone.
