Soo many Halloween ideas … too little time! That is my dilemma right now. I do have ideas for fall also … and will post them shortly.
This little project is a quick and easy one. Great for kids … or adults … to make. The witch hats could be used alone … but I really like them on top of cupcakes … edible decor!
You will need …
- Cupcakes
- Icing colored orange
- York Peppermint Patties
- Hershey Kisses – Special Dark
- Candy melts – I used orange and purple
Set up a little assembly line to make the witch hats … it takes a while just to unwrap the mint patties and kisses …
Put a dab or dollop (very technical terms) of melted candy on the mint patty. You can use a spoon … but a squeeze bottle would be a great option for kids …
Place the Kiss on the melted candy … a little will ooze out … creating a band. Pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm up the melted candy …
I used my favorite cupcake decorating tip … Wilton #1M … to frost the cupcakes. Start on the outside rim and swirl your way to the center of the cupcake …
Put a hat on the cupcake … and you are done!
Do these fall in the “good for you” category? They have dark chocolate … antioxidants … can we rationalize it? If not, here is my find of the day …
I wish I could take credit for this quote … but I can’t … it came straight off a Denny’s menu!
