Ingredients
- Oreos (regular or chocolate sandwich cookies)
- 1 cup (150g) black candy melts
- 1/2 cup (75g) orange candy melts
- Mini sugar cones (small-sized to fit on Oreos)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
- Edible marker or food coloring pens (optional)
- Colored icing or royal icing (optional)
- Chocolate chips or small candies (optional)
Instructions
- Melt about 1 cup (150g) of black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place Oreos flat on the sheet, spaced out.
- Dip the bottom rim of a mini sugar cone into the melted black candy melts and quickly place it on top of an Oreo, pressing gently to secure. Repeat for all Oreos.
- Place the tray in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the candy melts to harden and firmly glue the cone hats to the cookies.
- Melt about 1/2 cup (75g) of orange candy melts in the same way. Use a spoon or small brush to paint a ‘hat band’ around the base of each cone.
- Optionally, add sprinkles or edible glitter on the wet candy melt before it sets for sparkle.
- Use edible markers or food coloring pens to draw spooky faces, stars, or other designs on the cones once the candy melts are fully set. Add small candies or chocolate chips for embellishments if desired.
- Allow the decorated witch hats to rest at room temperature or in the fridge until all candy melts and decorations are firm, about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Use firm mini sugar cones to avoid sogginess. Heat candy melts in short bursts and stir frequently to prevent seizing. If candy melts get too thick, add a tiny drop of vegetable oil and stir well. Chill treats between steps to stabilize and prevent cones from slipping. Wait until candy melts are fully set before decorating with edible markers to avoid smearing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing to keep cones crunchy.
