Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (11.5 oz) Fudge Stripes cookies
  • 1 bag (10 oz) Hershey’s Kisses (milk chocolate)
  • 1 tube (4.25 oz) Orange decorating frosting or piping gel
  • Optional: Small edible star sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cookies: Unwrap the package of Fudge Stripes cookies. Lay them out on a large baking sheet or a clean flat surface with the chocolate-covered side facing up. This chocolate side will serve as the brim of the witch’s hat.
  2. Step 2: Unwrap the Chocolate Kisses: Unwrap approximately 24 Hershey’s Kisses. Make sure to remove all the foil and the paper plumes. Set them aside in a small bowl so they are ready for quick assembly.
  3. Step 3: Pipe the Frosting Ring: Take your orange frosting and pipe a small, thick circle around the center hole of each Fudge Stripes cookie. This frosting acts as the “glue” for the hat and also creates the colorful ribbon found on a witch’s hat.
  4. Step 4: Attach the Hat Tops: Carefully press a Hershey’s Kiss onto the center of each cookie, right on top of the frosting ring. Press down gently so the frosting oozes out slightly around the edges of the chocolate kiss, creating a visible orange band.
  5. Step 5: Final Decoration and Setting: If you are using edible stars, place one on the orange frosting band to look like a buckle. Let the cookies sit undisturbed for about 15 to 20 minutes so the frosting can firm up and secure the chocolate kiss in place.
