What Are Snow Cones?
If you’re unsure what a snow cone is, it’s essentially ground ice (or shaved ice) that is served in a cone. The ice has been flavored with sugar syrup, and sometimes contains toppings. They’re extremely popular at places such as theme parks and funfairs.
What is the difference between snow cones and shaved ice?
You may be thinking that shaved ice and snow cones are the same thing – but they aren’t! Although they are very similar. The only difference between the two is the size of the ice granules.
