Ingredients
Chocolate Cookies: One package of fudge striped cookies (Keebler or similar)
Chocolate Kisses: One bag of Hershey’s Kisses (milk chocolate or dark chocolate)
Melting Chocolate or Candy Melts: For adhering the Kisses to the cookies and decorating
Sprinkles: Various Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Preparation is Key: Start by preparing your workspace. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier. Unwrap all the Hershey’s Kisses and set them aside.
Melting the Chocolate
Microwave Method – Step 1: Place the melting chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave Method – Step 2: Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.
Double Boiler Method – Step 1: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer.
Double Boiler Method – Step 2: Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Double Boiler Method – Step 3: Add the melting chocolate or candy melts to the bowl and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
Assembling the Witch Hats
Step 1: Dip the bottom of a Hershey’s Kiss into the melted chocolate.
Step 2: Carefully place the Kiss in the center of a fudge striped cookie, pressing down gently.
Step 3: Hold for a few seconds until the chocolate begins to set and the Kiss stays in place.
Step 4: Repeat this process for all the cookies.
Decorating Your Witch Hats
Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles all over the base of the Kiss where it meets the cookie.
Icing: Use a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a small corner snipped off to drizzle melted chocolate or colored icing over the Kiss and the cookie. Create patterns like stripes, dots, or spiderwebs.
Edible Glitter: For an extra touch of magic, sprinkle edible glitter over the wet chocolate.
Setting and Storage: Once you’ve decorated your Witch Hat Cookies, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely. Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week.
