Serving and Storage Tips
Store these witch hat treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If your kitchen gets too warm, you can refrigerate them to prevent the chocolate from melting, though room temperature preserves the best texture. These treats are not ideal for freezing as the texture of the cookies and frosting may change, but they are perfect for making ahead. Assemble them the day before your Halloween event to save time and keep the fun stress-free.

Ingredients
- 12 chocolate striped fudge cookies
- 12 chocolate kiss candies
- 6 tablespoons vanilla frosting
- Orange or purple food coloring
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Small spoon or piping bag
- Tray or plate for assembling
- Spatula
- Small knife
Instructions
- Prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, mix the vanilla frosting with a few drops of food coloring. Stir thoroughly until the color is vibrant and even. I like using gel-based food coloring for a bolder shade without thinning the frosting.
- Set the cookie base: Lay the chocolate striped fudge cookies, textured or striped side down, on a serving tray. This will create a nice flat surface for attaching the kiss candy on top.
- Pipe the frosting: Using a spoon or piping bag, pipe a small circle of colored frosting in the center of each cookie. This acts as both glue and the brim of our spooky little hats.
- Place the chocolate kiss: Press a chocolate kiss candy gently on top of the frosting, centering it so that a thin ring of colored frosting shows underneath. Give it a gentle push so the kiss is snug but not squished.
- Decorate the brim: While the frosting is still soft, scatter Halloween sprinkles around the base of the kiss on the frosting ring. Go for contrasting colors to really make that hat pop. Black sprinkles look especially sharp against orange frosting.
- Repeat the process: Assemble all remaining cookies in the same way, lining them up like a coven of edible witches.
- Let them set: Let the finished hats sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. This allows the frosting to firm up and hold everything together nicely before serving.

Recipe Notes
Feel free to use any color of frosting that matches your Halloween theme — green, black, or neon purple work beautifully. For a flavor twist, use chocolate frosting instead of vanilla and dust with edible glitter. To make it even easier for kids to help, provide pre-colored frosting and a variety of sprinkles. If you cannot find striped fudge cookies, any flat chocolate cookie will do.
FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. These treats can be made up to one day in advance and stored at room temperature in an airtight container. The frosting will hold everything together well.
Can I use a different cookie for the base?
If you cannot find striped fudge cookies, try thin mint-style cookies or regular chocolate wafer cookies. Just make sure they are about two inches in diameter so they balance visually with the chocolate kiss.
Can kids help with this recipe?
Yes. This is a great kid-friendly activity. Little ones can help color the frosting, pipe it onto the cookies, and add sprinkles. Just be sure to supervise placing the candy kisses to avoid sticky fingers.
