Introduction: Drumsticks
Just in time for summer, an easy recipe for making your very own Drumstick style ice cream cones - also known in some parts as Cornettos!
You can customize these special treats to suit anyone's tastes. My favorite is half mint chip / half cookies + cream, topped with chocolate and chopped nuts! What will yours be?

Step 2: READ THE BOTTLE
Clicquot sez "Very important to read bottle."
Bottle sez "Shake me up good!"
Yes, this warrants its own step.
Mostly so I could use kitten pictures. She iz good halper.

Step 3: Prepare Your Cones
Nestle's Drumsticks have a delicious chocolate-coated sugar cone.
- Drizzle Magic Shell into the cones and swirling to coat.
- For an extra treat, add a maraschino cherry or frozen berry to the bottom of the cone
- Pop 'em in the freezer for a good 10 minutes.
- While you're waiting, take the ice cream out of the freezer to let it soften up.
Step 4: Make the Magical Innards
Drumsticks sometimes have a mysterious, magical chocolate center! They didn't when I was a kid, but I fully support this new addition.
To make our chocolatey guts, we'll need:
Fill the paper cones with Magic Shell and freeze!

- Pencil, pen, chopstick or something similar in shape.

Step 5: Fill With Ice Cream
By the time your ice cream is nice and melty, all of the stuff in the freezer should be ready!
I recommend doing this in a different order than is illustrated, so try to keep up here. Do as I say, not as I did.

- Wrap your cones in wax paper, and cut tops to about 2" above the edge of the cone. (I made a template so I could cut 6 at a time.)
- Fill cones with melty ice cream up to the top of the cone.
- Unwrap the chocolate spears you made and place them in the cones
- Top off the cones with remaining ice cream to within 1/2" of the wax paper
Step 6: Top Off
If you're topping with nuts, make sure they're finely crushed.
- Place nuts in a plastic bag
- Smash with a hammer
- Pour a small amount of Magic Shell on top of the cones. Quickly add chopped nuts (now that the ice cream's refrozen, the magic shell will set up quickly!)
- Alternatively, leave the cones in the freezer until very firm, remove wax paper and dip the entire top of the cone into a bowl of magic shell and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
