Tasty Oreo Witch Hat Cookies Recipe
Introduction
These Tasty Oreo Witch Hat Cookies are a fun and festive treat perfect for Halloween gatherings. Combining classic chocolate sandwich cookies with candy kisses and Halloween sprinkles, they’re both easy to make and delightfully spooky.
Ingredients
- 12 double-stuffed chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo brand recommended for best results)
- Halloween sprinkles (Betty Crocker is a good option)
- 12 chocolate candy kisses (unwrapped)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (melted over a double boiler or in the microwave)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your work area by laying a sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Arrange the 12 Oreo cookies on the parchment so they’re ready for decorating. Have the unwrapped chocolate kisses and Halloween sprinkles nearby for easy access.
- Step 2: Place the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent burning. Stirring with a rubber spatula helps achieve a glossy finish.
- Step 3: Dunk one side of each Oreo cookie into the melted chocolate and place the chocolate-coated side facing up on the parchment paper. Quickly press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of the melted chocolate on each cookie, then immediately sprinkle Halloween sprinkles around the rim before the chocolate hardens.
Tips & Variations
- Use different colored sprinkles or edible glitter to customize your witch hats for other themed parties or holidays.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, try using dark or white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
- Work quickly when assembling to ensure the sprinkles stick well before the chocolate sets.
Storage
Store the witch hat cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them away from heat or direct sunlight to prevent the chocolate from melting. If needed, gently warm the cookies before serving to soften the chocolate slightly, but avoid melting it completely.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular Oreos instead of Double Stuf?
Yes, you can use regular Oreos, but the Double Stuf variety provides a thicker cream center that helps the chocolate and candy kisses adhere better.
What if I don’t have Halloween sprinkles?
You can substitute with any type of colorful sprinkles or even crushed candy pieces to decorate your witch hats creatively.
