Instructions:
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar 🧈🍭
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes on medium speed with an electric mixer.
Step 2: Add Salt, Vanilla, and Condensed Milk 🧂🍦🥛
Beat in the salt and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk. The mixture will become quite stiff, but that’s exactly what we want for shaping the balls!
Step 3: Shape the Balls 🍡
Using your hands, shape the stiff mixture into 1/2-inch balls. You should be able to make about 24 balls, one for each Bugle.
Step 4: Top the Bugles 🏔️
Place one ball on top of each Bugle, gently pressing to ensure it stays in place. The balls should sit snugly on the open end of each Bugle, creating a cute cone shape.
Step 5: Dip and Decorate 🍫✨
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip the top of each Bugle (where the ball is) into the melted chocolate, then immediately dip into the sprinkles or decorative candies of your choice. This adds a delightful crunch and pop of color!
Step 6: Set and Enjoy! 🕒🎉
Place the decorated Bugle Cones on a sheet of wax paper and let them sit until the chocolate and candies are completely set. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Once set, your Bugle Cones are ready to be enjoyed!
Tips and Tricks:
- For an extra touch of flavor, try using flavored Bugles, such as nacho cheese or caramel.
- If you want to make the process even more fun for kids, set up a decorating station with various sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or edible glitter.
Serving Suggestions:
Bugle Cones are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or as a fun after-school treat. Pair them with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of cocoa for the ultimate snack experience. They also make great edible gifts—just wrap them up in cute cellophane bags tied with a festive ribbon!
