CORNUCOPIA TREAT INGREDIENTS
This quick and easy Cornucopia Treat recipe uses everyday kitchen staples to create a yummy Thanksgiving-inspired treat your family will love.
All you need is:
- sugar cones
- a variety of fall candy
- water
CORNUCOPIA TREAT RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
First, add water to a small microwavable bowl.
Dip the end of the sugar cone into the water about 1-2 inches high.
Place the bowl and cone in the microwave for 25 seconds.
Take the cone out and immediately bend the end over a straw or spoon handle.
Hold the cone tightly over the straw or spoon handle for about 30 seconds to a minute or until it’s hard enough to keep its shape.
Gently, slide-out the straw and or spoon and let cool completely.
I recommend doing one cone at a time.
After the cones are all cooled, fill with delicious fall candy.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the candy and carefully tie with twine or string.
In about 12 minutes, you’ll have a Thanksgiving-inspired treat that’s sure to become a new favorite!
Making these cornucopia treats are super easy.
Just follow my instructions below to make the sugar cones bend a little for a cornucopia look and fill it up with your fall candy selection once the sugar cone has cooled down.

HOW LONG DOES IT REALLY TAKE TO MAKE CORNUCOPIA TREATS?
This no-bake Thanksgiving treat is so quick to whip up. This Cornucopia Treat recipe takes approximately 12 minutes. TOTAL. This includes:
- About 3 minutes to microwave the cones
- Close to 3 minutes to bend each cone into a cornucopia shape
- Around 6 minutes to fill each cone with candies and place wrap over it
CAN I USE REGULAR ICE CREAM CONES INSTEAD OF SUGAR CONES?
Nope. Unfortunately, you need to use a sugar cone because sugar cones have so much sugar in them that when heated it is easy to bend them and change their shape.
WHAT GOES WELL WITH CORNUCOPIA TREATS?
Cornucopia Treats go well with a wide variety of fall treats. Some of my personal favorites include:
- Turkey Pretzel Bites
- Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes
- Pumpkin Pie
- Gingersnaps
