Notes:

*1- Ice cream with cone - If one eats the ice cream and also wants the cone 2 Brachot are said Shehakol on the ice cream and Mezonot on the cone. However if one doesn't really want the cone and it is secondary only Shehakol is said.
Since there is no Shiur in the cone so the after Bracha is always only Boray Nefashot.

*2- Lollipops - One must determine if the candy eaten was a Kazayit and whether it was eaten within the time limit of Kdei Achilat Pras. Since the latter requirement is usually not present when eating hard candies, no Brochoh Acronah would be required.
