Pink Popcorn Cones by the Clueless Chick
This week on Charlotte Today I shared some of my favorite tips for planning a fabulous baby shower on a budget. One of the most popular treats was our new Pink Popcorn Cones. These adorable treats are super cute and fairly easy to make. They are the perfect example of how a simple Pinterest recipe can lead to a fun new creation. While making a modified version of this Old-Fashioned Pink Popcorn recipe, the idea to make this super cute popcorn into popcorn cones was born - after all I was already planning to use ice cream cones as the cups for my popcorn buffet so why not? I gave it a try and voila, a fun new Clueless Chick favorite!
