Bake and Shape the Cones
Preheat the waffle cone maker, pour in the batter, and bake until golden. Wrap each waffle around a cone shape to make mini cones.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganaches
Create the milk and dark chocolate ganaches by melting the ingredients and mixing until smooth.
Seal and Fill the Cones
Place the cones in a support rack, seal with chocolate, and fill each cone with ganache.
Decorate and Set

Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Cone Bites the same day for optimal crispiness, and enjoy the delightful taste!
Hint: Be extra careful when shaping the hot waffle cones into mini cones, as they will be very hot. Using a proper cone-shaping tool can help achieve the perfect shape without burning your fingers. The consistency of the chocolate ganache is key, so follow the instructions closely for a smooth and velvety texture.
