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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
