Recipe: Make Your Own Snow Cones
It is barely even Summer and my boys are already asking if we can stop at the local snow cone place or flag down the ice cream man so they can spend my hard earned money on over-priced, frozen sugar. I decided to bring the snow cone place and ice cream man on into my house and have the boys help me whip up some snow cones.

It is really quite simple, especially if you do the hard part first!

Thanks for the simple recipe. I have never made snow cones at home myself, but will now try it following your instructions. Let me see how good they taste.
Putting ice in the blender to make the snow is a great idea if your blender can handle it. I haven’t thought to try before, and I should see if mine would be able to try. I always hear how ice cubes help sharpen garbage disposal blades, does that work the same way with blenders blades?
Thank you so much for sharing your great recipe with Full Plate Thursday and have a wonderful week.
Come Back Soon!

Yum! I had to check out this one because I used to spend my summers making snowcones at my families snowcone business. I’ll have to try this out!
Great idea for the hot summer days!! Thanks for sharing on our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday”. Hope you come back next week. -The Sisters
Can we come for snack time? Sounds great!
Sure, come on over 🙂
Why in the world hadn’t I thought of this? I’ll be making this for an after-camp snack today – it supposed to be a hot one here!
Ah! This is such a brilliant idea! I keep seeing those sno-cone makers around but I never really wanted to spend the money. I’m so glad to know you can do it with just your blender, yay! I’d be thrilled if you’d share this recipe over at my current link party so everyone can make some this summer! http://practicallyfunctional.net/2012/06/the-fun-in-functional-link-party-2/
Love this!
My boys and hubby are snow cone fanatics.
I just wanted to tell you that you have a fantastic site. It’s been fun to follow. I’ve written you a Alexa review. If you have time I’d appreciate a review of my site http://www.watchmeplayandlearn.com/. If you don’t that’s ok. I imagine running after 3 boys would be time consuming.
