Ghost and Goblins.......

Halloween is fast approaching.... So,

I thought it was a good time to reopen my recipe vault to get an idea
for conjuring up some treats.

Witches Hat
with a sweet surprise.

I gathered an assortment of goodies to fill my Witches Hat.
Candy: corn, skulls, bones,
along with....caramel popcorn, M&M's and Reece's Pieces.

I filled the sugar (ice cream) cone with sweets, then
brushed the edge/rim of the cone with (melted) chocolate.
The chocolate becomes the glue that binds your cookie to your cone.

You can use any (round) cookie for the base.
I used a (pre-made) dark chocolate and peanut butter cookies.

To prevent candies from spilling out
and the chocolate from dripping, I
placed the cookie on top of the (chocolate) brushed cone.
Gently turning it over...

to paint a single coat of chocolate over the entire hat then set aside to dry.

When it was dry, I adorned my Hat with candies and a sour gummy ribbon .
To complete my little project, a Witches Broom was fashioned
from licorice laces and a pretzel rod.

I'm also using this recipe for our Halloween dessert.
I'll fill my hats with.....mousse, ice cream, and toppings
(in place of the candy).
I may add fondant roses and bow or.....
the cute royal icing pumpkins and ghosties from Wiltons.
