  • Easy for little hands to grip, minimizing the risk of dropping.
  • Chocolate coating is appropriately thin, complementing the ice cream.

  • Welrranged packaging prevents cone damage.
  • No artificial flavors or colors, adding to the appeal.
  • The mini cones are a family favorite and perfect for enjoyment.
  • Overall positive experience with the product.

Cons

  • Noticeable quality differences between cones in clear and black trays; clear tray cones are less crispy.
  • The cone consistently turns out soft and chewy rather than crispy.
  • Packaging is not resealable, which is inconvenient.
  • Mini cones are much smaller than expected, making them overpriced at $7.
  • Recent recipe change has negatively impacted flavor and texture.
  • Vanilla ice cream is excessively sweet and not creamy.

Bottom Line

If you're getting these for your kids or want a guilt-free treat, the Drumstick Mini Drums, Simply Dipped Vanilla, serve the purpose well. However, the inconsistent quality and recent recipe changes might lead to disappointment for long-time fans used to the old texture and flavor. At their current price and mini size, they may not stack up against other brands like Blue Bunny, which some reviewers prefer for a more authentic ice cream taste. Proceed with caution if past quality is a factor in your purchasing decision.
