A sno cone is a popular frozen treat made from finely shaved ice that is flavored with colorful syrups. Typically served in a paper or plastic cone-shaped cup, sno cones are enjoyed during hot weather and at outdoor events like fairs and festivals. The ice is packed tightly and then drizzled with various sweet flavors, which can include fruit, candy, or even soda. Sno cones are similar to shaved ice and snow cones, but the texture and preparation can vary. They are often confused with Italian ice, which is a smoother, creamier frozen dessert. Sno cones are a fun and refreshing way to cool down, especially for children and families.
