Ingredients
Scale
Cones and Decorations
- 12 waffle ice cream cones
- 12 black cat icing decorations
- Halloween sprinkles, as needed
- 12 green sour belts
Chocolate Components
- 12 oz chocolate melting wafers
- 12 chocolate cookies
Filling
- Assorted Halloween candy, amount as desired for filling
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate wafers according to the package directions until smooth and glossy. This forms the base for coating the cones.
- Coat the Cones: Using a spatula, evenly cover each waffle cone with the melted chocolate. Smooth out the surface and remove excess chocolate to create a sleek outer layer on the cones.
- Add Decorations: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Halloween sprinkles over the cones. Then place the cones on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet to set.
- Attach Sour Belts and Icing Decorations: Dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the bottom edge of each cone, then adhere a green sour belt around it. Optionally, attach a black cat icing decoration to the front of each cone for an extra festive touch.
- Fill the Cones: Fill each cone with assorted Halloween candy and additional sprinkles, being careful not to overfill or let candy spill out.
- Seal the Bottom: Carefully cover the open bottom of each cone with melted chocolate, making sure not to let chocolate drip inside the cone. Immediately place a chocolate cookie on top of the chocolate to seal the bottom of the cone like a hat brim.
- Allow to Set: Flip the cones upside down and let them sit until the chocolate seal is fully set and hardened.
- Store Properly: Transfer the finished candy-filled witch hats to an airtight container until ready to serve or gift.
Notes
- Use chocolate melting wafers for easy and smooth chocolate coating.
- Be careful when sealing the bottom of the cone to avoid dripping chocolate inside the cone.
- Customize with any Halloween candies or sprinkles you prefer.
- Allow chocolate to fully set for neat presentation and easy handling.
- These make great party favors or fun snacks for Halloween gatherings.
