This is a great, quick and fun recipe! We topped ours with an individual red gummy 'bear' candy to resemble and cherry on top. They are always a hit. We transport ours in a shoe boxes. Just snug enough that they dont move around. Another bake sale tip: use sprinkles that our the school's colors!

Very fun recipe for birthday treats at school for kids, if you're using these for a bake sale try packaging them individually in clear, disposable punch cups then wrap celophane around them with a cute ribbon tied at the top.

My kids love this recipe. I made it for a bake sale recently, and my daughter was disappointed that one of the other mom's bought all that I made before the kids had a chance to buy any. I had to make more at home for her. The only change I made was that I used chocolate frosting from a can (try Betty Crocker Whipped in milk chocolate--it's delish!) I piped the frosting on top of the cups to look like soft serve ice cream and sprinkled rainbow sprinkles on top. Yummy!

I would put a styrofoam cup in the muffin pan and then put the cones in the cups, they will transport really well.

I do enjoy making these cupcakes/brownies in an ice cream cone. I have one problem tho - how do you transport these after decorating without them falling over? The kids loved this at a Bar B Q this past summer. Do any of you have any suggestions?
