Witch Hat Cupcakes are festive Halloween treats topped with edible witch hats made from cookies and chocolates. They’re fun, adorable, and perfect for parties or baking with kids, combining spooky charm with delicious flavor.

Ingredients

  • 12 chocolate cupcakes (homemade or from a boxed mix)
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting (or any color of choice)
  • 12 fudge-striped cookies or chocolate wafer cookies
  • 12 Hershey’s Kisses or chocolate-dipped sugar cones
  • Colored icing or decorating gel (for hat bands)
  • Halloween sprinkles (optional)
  • Food coloring (if making colored frosting)

Instructions

  1. Bake the chocolate cupcakes according to the recipe or package instructions and let them cool completely.
  2. Frost each cooled cupcake with chocolate or colored frosting using a piping bag or knife.
  3. To create the witch hats, flip each cookie upside down and pipe a ring of icing in the center.
  4. Press an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss or chocolate cone onto the icing to form a pointed hat.
  5. Use colored icing or decorating gel to draw a band around the base of the Kiss for a decorative touch.
  6. Place each completed witch hat on top of a frosted cupcake.
  7. Optionally, add Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter to the frosting for extra flair.

Notes

  • Use vanilla, red velvet, or pumpkin cupcakes for different flavor variations.
  • Mini chocolate-dipped sugar cones make fun alternative witch hats.
  • Add a filling like ganache or marshmallow cream for a surprise center.
  • Gel food coloring gives vibrant frosting colors without altering consistency.
  • Store hats separately if making cupcakes ahead of time to maintain texture.
