Directions: 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your colorful candy melts in increments of 30 seconds. Stir between each increment. Repeat until fully melted.
  2. Dip donut holes in melted candy melts and top with sprinkles. Let dry. Don’t worry about coating the entire donut holes with candy melts. Half of each donut hole will do.
  3. Starting at the bottom of the foam cone, insert toothpick halfway. Then, add a donut hole to the remaining, sticking out toothpick.
  4. Continue this process one at a time. We like to do it this way to avoid gaps in the cone.
  5. Top with a cake topper.
