Description

These whimsical Candy-filled Witch Hats are a festive Halloween treat perfect for parties and celebrations. Made with waffle ice cream cones dipped in rich melted chocolate, decorated with sprinkles and green sour belts to resemble witch hats, and filled with an assortment of Halloween candies. Topped with a chocolate cookie base, these hats are as fun to make as they are to eat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cones and Coating

  • 12 waffle ice cream cones
  • 12 oz chocolate melting wafers

Decorations

  • Halloween sprinkles
  • 12 green sour belts
  • 12 black cat icing decorations (optional)

Topping

  • 12 chocolate cookies

Filling

  • Assorted Halloween candy

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the 12 oz of chocolate melting wafers according to the package directions, ensuring the chocolate is smooth and free of lumps for easy coating.
  2. Coat the Cones: Using a spatula, cover each waffle ice cream cone entirely with the melted chocolate, smoothing the surface and removing any excess for a neat finish.
  3. Decorate the Cones: While the chocolate coating is still wet, decorate the cones with Halloween sprinkles. Place the cones upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  4. Attach the Sour Belts: Apply a small amount of melted chocolate to the bottom edge of each cone and secure a green sour belt around it to mimic the hatband. Optionally, add a black cat icing decoration to the front of each cone for extra spookiness.
  5. Fill the Cones: Once the decorations are set but the chocolate is still slightly tacky, fill each cone carefully with assorted Halloween candies and additional sprinkles for a festive look.
  6. Seal with a Cookie Base: Cover the bottom opening of the cone with melted chocolate, being careful not to let chocolate drip inside the cone. Immediately press a chocolate cookie onto the chocolate seal to create the base of the witch hat.
  7. Set and Store: Flip the cones upside down to allow the chocolate bases to solidify completely. Once set, transfer the candy-filled witch hats to an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

  • These candy-filled witch hats are a fun and surprising Halloween treat, combining the flavors of chocolate, sour belts, cookies, and festive candies.
  • Using waffle cones makes for an easy, edible structure that perfectly mimics a witch’s hat shape.
  • Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for easier coating and better adhesion of decorations.
  • You can customize the candy fillings according to your preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting and keep the cones crisp.
