Ingredients

  • 6 waffle cones
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can vanilla frosting
  • 5 drops green food coloring
  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 6 waffle cones upright in a muffin tin, wrapping each with foil to hold them steady.

  2. 2

    Fill each cone about 2/3 full with batter, about 1/3 cup each. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Let cones cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, stir 5 drops green food coloring into the 1 can vanilla frosting until evenly colored.

  6. 6

    Spread or pipe the green frosting onto each cooled cupcake cone.
