Ingredients

• 8 cones Sugar waffle cones
• 1 cup Mini pretzels
• 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
• 0.5 cup Roasted nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or peanuts)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese crackers
• 2 cups Popcorn (lightly salted)
• 8 pieces Optional ribbon or string for decoration

Directions

Step 1

Start by gently heating the pointed ends of the sugar waffle cones using your hands or a warm, damp cloth to slightly soften them. Carefully curl the ends upward to create the classic cornucopia shape. Allow them to cool and harden in this shape.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini pretzels, candy-coated chocolates, dried cranberries or raisins, roasted nuts, cheddar cheese crackers, and popcorn. Mix gently to create an even assortment.

Step 3

Carefully fill each waffle cone with the snack mixture, ensuring each cone has a good balance of flavors and textures.

Step 4

If desired, tie a decorative ribbon or string around the top of each cone to secure the snacks and add a festive touch.

Step 5

Arrange the filled cones on a platter or tray and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
