Halloween Cupcakes: Witches Hats
Ding dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch, the wicked witch, and she is being replaced by this sweet fun treat– witch hat cupcakes. These witches hat Halloween cupcakes are the cutest. They are simple and easy to make with everyday ingredients. And your whole family will love getting involved in the making of this Halloween treat.
There are a million different ways to make Witch hat cupcakes, from ice cream cones dipped in chocolate to hats made from fondant. But these are my favorite. Not only are the hats easier to eat, and totally edible and fun, but they are simple and easy to assemble.
I first saw this idea on Tastes Better From Scratch, and then all over Pinterest. I loved it some much I had to include it in my Halloween Cupcake arsenal. Of course, I made a few changes, like a tower of Green Frosting, like a melting wicked Witch. But overall the idea is the same, and just so cute and fun.
What you Need to Make Witch Hat Cupcakes
- Cupcakes – Make them, buy them, use a mix, it doesn’t matter. But it is a good idea to use a fun Halloween colored cupcake liner to give the cupcake a great effect overall. You can see we opted for an orange liner.
- OREO cookies- You want the full size ones, and I like to use the Double Stuff, because even though we aren’t eating the frosting inside the cookies, they double stuffed ones are easier to get apart and separate the cookies without breaking them. But if you are an expert at separating OREOs then by all means use whichever you prefer.
- Chocolate kisses – These make the pointy tops of the witch hats. You can use fun colors, striped ones, etc. or a classic.
- Green Icing – You will want enough to pipe a nice tower of icing on each cupcake.
- Orange Icing – You only need a little, like 1/4 cup for six cupcakes so you can attach your chocolate kiss to your cookie to make the hat.
- Halloween colored sprinkles- I like using green sprinkles because it ties the whole witch cupcake together, but feel free to use whatever color you like best.
These great-tasting, fun cupcakes are an eerily easy treat for a Halloween party! Kids get really into decorating them too, which makes them fun for a Halloween class party.
These adorable witch hat cupcakes are the perfect Halloween treat to craft with your little monsters. They only take about 5 ingredients, which means they are simple and fun, and great for kids.
