You can't have missed them on TikTok or Instagram: those small, crunchy bites that pack the best part of an ice cream cone—the crispy, chocolate-filled tip—into one perfect snack. What was once the ultimate reward at the end of a cone has now become a treat in its own right. With the meteoric success of this treat from the United States, it can be hard to know where to start. We'll guide you through the options to help you choose the chocolate-filled cone tips you'll truly love.
This viral snack comes in many different variations. To make sure you pick the right one, here are the key criteria to look for.
The quality of the chocolate makes all the difference. Do you prefer the sweetness of milk chocolate, the intensity of dark chocolate, or the originality of white chocolate? Some brands, like Just The Fun Part, take the concept even further with coatings made from freeze-dried fruit, coconut, or other gourmet toppings. A quick look at the ingredients list will tell you a lot about the composition, especially the cocoa percentage and the quality of the fats used.
The secret to this wafer-chocolate snack is the contrast in textures. A good chocolate cone tip must have a wafer that stays perfectly crunchy, even when coated in chocolate. The storage instructions on the packaging are a good indicator. A resealable bag is also a real bonus for preserving freshness after opening.
Beyond the classic milk/dark/white trio, brands are daring with bold flavour pairings. Peanut butter, strawberry, coconut... there's enough variety to turn a simple sweet break into a true tasting experience. To find that perfect match, let your usual preferences guide you.
We've sifted through the most popular options available right now to help you find your perfect match.

They are simply the bottom tip of an ice cream cone, that famous bite of wafer filled with solid chocolate. Now a snack in its own right thanks to brands like Just The Fun Part, this treat lets you enjoy what many consider the best part of the cone, all on its own.
To preserve their crunch, store them in a cool, dry place, away from heat (ideally below 22°C / 72°F so the chocolate doesn't melt) and direct sunlight. Once the package is opened, be sure to reseal the bag tightly to prevent the wafer from going soft.
