Ingredients
Scale
Cones & Coating
- 12 waffle ice cream cones
- 12 oz chocolate melting wafers
- Halloween sprinkles, as needed
Decorations & Filling
- 12 green sour belts
- 12 chocolate cookies
- 12 black cat icing decorations
- Your choice of assorted candy to fill cones
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the 12 oz of chocolate melting wafers according to the package directions until smooth and glossy. This will be used to coat and seal the cones.
- Coat the Cones: Using a spatula, generously cover the exterior of each waffle ice cream cone with the melted chocolate. Smooth out the chocolate and remove any excess to create an even coating on the cones.
- Decorate the Coated Cones: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles all around the coated cones. Place the cones upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
- Add Sour Belt Accents: Take a small amount of melted chocolate and apply it to the bottom edge of each cone. Quickly press a green sour belt around this edge to resemble a hatband. Optionally, affix a black cat icing decoration to the front center of each cone using a dab of melted chocolate as glue.
- Fill the Witch Hats: Fill each cone with your choice of assorted Halloween candy and additional sprinkles for a festive pop of color and texture.
- Seal with Cookies: Carefully dab melted chocolate on the rim or bottom opening of the cone (taking care not to drip chocolate inside the cone). Place a chocolate cookie on top to seal the opening. Flip each cone over so the cookie rests on a flat surface and allow the chocolate to set completely, sealing the candy inside.
- Store and Serve: Once set, transfer the Candy-filled Witch Hats to an airtight container until ready to enjoy. They make for a perfect Halloween party treat or fun festive gift!
