Chocolate sugar cones filled with a creamy homemade mousse then dipped in chocolate and covered in Halloween sprinkles. I love them and I hope you do to!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
• 1  cup  milk chocolate chips
• 1⁄2 teaspoon shortening
• 4 (1 ounce)  semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, chopped
• 1 (4 3/4ounce) package  chocolate ice cream cones (sugar cone)
•  halloween  candy sprinkles

Directions

1. For mousse, in a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup cream to a boil; remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
2. In a small mixing bowl, beat the remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate.
