    It’s a great recipe to pull off a Happy Halloween surprise with very little effort.

    Recipe Ingredients + Notes

    Fudge Covered Oreos. These are regular Oreo sandwich cookies coated with chocolate and they come this way.

    Hershey’s Kisses. Traditional Hershey’s kisses. You’ll use them unwrapped.

    Orange frosting. This is used to attach the top of the hat (kiss) and for decoration. We used Pillsbury Funfetti Orange All Star Vanilla frosting. Vanilla frosting can be dyed orange with food coloring too.

    You could use green, purple or black icing too.

    Orange and black sprinkles. These create the look of a hat band. You can use any tiny Halloween sprinkles.

    How to make homemade Chocolate Covered Oreos

    It’s also possible to chocolate coat Oreos at home. This is great if you can’t find Fudge Covered Oreo cookies or if you need a gluten-free version (Oreos makes a gluten-free version but not a fudge coated one).

    Homemade chocolate dipped cookies just need sandwich cookies (Oreos or another brand) and candy melts.

    How to do it:

    1. Follow the instructions on the package of candy melts (we recommend Ghirardelli brand for great authentic chocolate flavor, excellent melting and hardening results).
    2. Fit a rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
    3. Place a cookie on a dining fork, dunk it into the melted chocolate to fully coat it. You can roll the cookie in the chocolate and pick it up with the fork underneath.
    4. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Lightly tap the fork to release any remaining chocolate.
    5. Place individual cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
    6. Allow to sit until the chocolate hardens.
    7. Using a fork lower a cookie into the melted chocolate candy.

    How to Make Witch Hat Cookies

    STEP 1. Pipe the frosting

    Fill a piping bag fit with any type of plain or round piping tips (or freezer plastic bag with the tip cut off with orange frosting.

    Pipe a dollop of frosting in the center of the cookie (photo 2).

    STEP 2. Assemble

    Press the Hershey’s kiss into the frosting (photo 3).

    Sprinkle some of the orange and black sprinkles on top of the exposed frosting for decoration (photo 4).

    Place on a cooling rack (wire rack) or baking sheet to set.

    Top Tips

    Avoid melting the chocolate. When working with Hershey’s kisses or chocolate covered cookies avoid over touching them OR run hands under cold water first. This will keep the heat from your fingers from leaving marks on the chocolate.

    You can use chocolate handling gloves too but that’s probably not necessary.

    How to Store

    Place in an airtight container lined with parchment paper.

    Place in a single row, seal and keep at room temperature or refrigerator. If in the refrigerator be sure the container if fully sealed.

    Moisture can negatively effect the cookie coating.
