Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 12 sugar cones
  2. 1 cup chocolate chips
  3. 1 cup orange frosting
  4. 24 candy eyes
  5. 1 cup black sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to create a clean surface for assembling the witch hats.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and completely liquid. This will be used to create the base coating for the witch hat cones.
  3. Carefully dip each sugar cone into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating that covers about two-thirds of the cone. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place on the prepared parchment paper.
  4. Allow the chocolate-coated cones to cool and set completely at room temperature, which typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the orange frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip for precise decoration.
  6. Pipe a decorative rim around the base of the chocolate-covered cone to create the witch hat's brim, using smooth and even pressure.
  7. Carefully place two candy eyes on the front of each cone, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to the chocolate surface.
  8. Sprinkle black sprinkles around the eyes and along the hat's surface to create texture and a witchy appearance.
  9. Allow the decorated witch hats to set completely at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving or storing.
  10. For best presentation, arrange the witch hats on a Halloween-themed serving platter or individual dessert plates.

Tips

  1. Chocolate Coating Secrets: Ensure your chocolate is melted slowly and smoothly to get a perfect, even coating on the sugar cones. Use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler for best results.
  2. Piping Precision: When adding the orange frosting brim, practice steady hand control. A steady hand and consistent pressure will create a professional-looking witch hat edge.
  3. Candy Eye Placement: Use a toothpick to help position the candy eyes precisely for a playful, symmetrical look.
  4. Sprinkle Strategy: Sprinkle black sprinkles while the frosting is still slightly wet to ensure they stick perfectly.
  5. Cooling and Setting: Allow ample time for each layer to set completely to prevent smudging and maintain the witch hat's structural integrity.
  6. Storage Tip: Store these witch hats in a cool, dry place and consume within 2-3 days for maximum freshness and appearance.
