Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 packet fudge-covered cookies

Frosting & Decorations

  • 16 ounces white frosting
  • Food coloring (various colors)
  • 18 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
  • 18 mini yellow M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookies: Arrange the fudge-covered cookies in a single layer on a baking tray, making sure they are evenly spaced to facilitate decorating.
  2. Color the Frosting: Divide the white frosting into small bowls and mix in different food coloring shades until you reach the desired vibrant colors for decorating.
  3. Fill Piping Bags: Transfer each colored frosting into piping bags by cutting off a small corner of the bag to allow precise application.
  4. Add Frosting to Cookies: Place a generous dollop of colored frosting on the center of each fudge-covered cookie to act as the hat’s adhesive and decoration.
  5. Attach Chocolate Kisses: Gently press one unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of the frosting on each cookie to form the iconic pointed witch hat shape.
  6. Decorate the Buckle: Place one mini yellow M&M on the front of each chocolate kiss to mimic a witch hat buckle, enhancing the visual appeal.
  7. Let Set: Allow the decorated cookies to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes so the frosting can firm up and secure the chocolate pieces.

Notes

  • Use various frosting colors to create a fun, colorful assortment of witch hats.
  • Ensure chocolate kisses are unwrapped completely to avoid contamination in frosting.
  • For easier frosting application, chill the cookies briefly before decorating.
  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • This is a no-bake recipe, great for quick holiday treats and kids’ activities.
