During the summer, I really like eating ice cream. I think most people feel that way. There is something nice about a cool ice cream cone on a hot day.
I’ve seen, eaten, and reviewed a lot of ice cream products, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen any as small as the Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones. I decided to try them out.
These cones can only be found at Trader Joe’s. You can get them in the freezer section. Right now, the store sells vanilla, chocolate chip, and chocolate cones. I chose the vanilla cones to try. They all cost $3.79. Each box comes with 8 cones, which comes out to about 47 cents per cone.
The ice cream cones are small, maybe 4 inches tall. The vanilla ice cream is coated with crispy chocolate, and the inside of the cone is, too.
If you have allergies, the ice cream cones contain milk, egg, soy, wheat, and coconut. Also, you’re definitely going to get a few calories if you like them, because there are 690 calories per box, and 12 grams of fat. While there are 8 of them, it’s pretty easy to eat more than one at a time because they’re small. The calories can really add up.

Since I’ve reviewed a lot of ice cream and frozen products in the past, I can compare them pretty well. I think that these are probably one of the the best products I’ve reviewed. Trader Joe’s ice cream tends to be quite good. I noticed the ice cream is pretty creamy and soft, and the cone is crunchy without being too hard. The ice cream tastes good as well as the cone, and the chocolate is sweet but also just a little crunchy.
The Verdict:
Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones are convenient if you want a small but good snack. The price is reasonable, too. These are really good and I would buy these again. I would also like to try the other flavors someday.
