Before you indulge, here are a few things to keep in mind to make the right choice.
The concept is simple: a chocolate-filled wafer. But the filling is what makes all the difference. Beyond classic milk chocolate, the variations are endless. It's up to you whether you're on team classic (hazelnut, caramel) or if you dare to try more adventurous flavours like peanut butter, a typical American treat, or coconut. A quick look at the ingredients list will tell you a lot about the flavour journey that awaits.
The secret to these bites? The contrast of textures. A wafer that crunches when you bite into it is fundamental. The packaging is therefore important: a resealable bag is your best friend for preserving that precious crunch and making the enjoyment of your chocolate snack cone last for days.
Usually sold in 100g to 150g bags, these bites are perfect for a solo treat or for sharing during a movie night. Easy to slip into a bag, the pouch is also ideal for introducing this little marvel to curious friends.
To guide you, here are our top picks from the brand Just The Fun Part, the one that started the phenomenon.

"Just The Fun Part" is the brand that had the stroke of genius to sell only the best part of the ice cream cone: the pointe de cornet de glace (cone tip). They are simply mini wafer cones, filled with chocolate (or other treats), sold in a bag to be snacked on as they are, without the ice cream.
The secret is to store them in a cool, dry place, away from heat and sunlight. Once the bag is open, the key is to seal the zip tightly so that humidity doesn't spoil the fun by softening the wafers.
Yes, and thankfully so! While the original version was just chocolate, its success quickly gave the creators new ideas. As you've seen in our selection, today you can find variations with hazelnut cream, peanut butter, caramel, and even coconut. There's something for every taste
