Witches' Hats

I have made these w/ my son and nephews almost every Halloween and they are always a hit! I use melted chocolate or frosting in place of the honey, and usually orange decorating icing/gel instead of the black. This is definitely fun for kids, and the adults too! :)

So easy! Used them as a cupcake topper and they were a hit! Thanks

These turn out so cute and they are incredibly easy to make. I've made them a few times and they are always a hit. What kid (or adult) doesn't like a fudge cookie and a Hershey's kiss?? I do skip the honey part of the recipe, instead using the piping gel (orange looks great against the cookie and the kiss) to connect the kiss with the cookie. If some of it squishes out under the base of the kiss, it looks like a ribbon around the 'hat'. Just let them sit for an hour or so to dry and they are ready!

Just made these today and hubby helped... They were super easy to make but I found the decorating a bit difficult... Maybe next time I'll candy decorations to adorn the hats ...

Super fun and very easy! My 5 year old made these with some minimal instruction. These would be a fun treat to make as a class project.

Really cute idea although I'm thinking a little frosting would work better than the honey. Honey was kind of drizzled over everything after a few of these were taken off the plate. Used dark choc fudge stripe cookies and dark choc kisses. Flavor is average b/c afterall, this is just a fudge strip cookie with a kiss on top :)

Cute and simple, my daughter and daughter in-law thought it was a clever idea. I put them in lunch boxes for a cute seasonal treat. I did not use honey just frosting and I opted for orange frosting.

Such a simple and cute idea. You would think it would be easy to decorate wouldn't you? Well, unless you are talented like Andy Warhol, you might find the decorating a little more challenging than you would think at first. I know I did. The decorations on my hats looked like the witch had been flying in the wind at a high rate of speed. The hats really had the "wind blown" look. But I still adored them. Made them for my three little nephews (ages 8, 6, and 4). They loved them. I will make them again, keeping in mind that decorating takes a bit more effort and time than it looks like it would. I used the honey to secure the point of the hat. It doesn't take but just a dab. I put the honey on one chocolate kiss and pressed another chocolate kiss against the first one, rubbed them together. This made "glue" application very easy and fast. No "glue" squished out at the bottom when applied to the hat. As far as the taste, nothing exceptional. But after all, this is not Gourmet Cookie Making 101. It is just shortbread cookies dipped in fudge with a chocolate kiss on the top. Worth the effort for a special holiday treat for your loved ones.

Very easy and fun for the kids to help. We used a couple different items to 'glue' the kisses to the cookies instead of honey: melted chocolate was kinda messy but worked; nutella added a yummy flavor twist; peanut butter went really well with all the chocolate but harder to cover up with the decorating gell.

Cute idea but the gel isn't as easy as one would think. Still tasty though!

I'm not the most crafty person but I do try. The gel was too soft, so it made it hard to make the ribbons. They're ok. I like the picture here much better than how mine look, but since so many others gave it great reviews maybe I just need to play w different kinds of frosting material for the ribbon. :/ disappointed

We made the at school a few years ago for a Halloween party they were awesome

All the kids loved them.

So cute, easy and perfect for the occasion

Easy and fast! Just what I need for my childs Halloween dance!!

Pretty average taste but fun, cheap, and easy for Halloween

These were fun and easy for my 4 year old and 9 year old to assemble and decorate alone. The band wasn't as picture perfect but they were still a hit.

They were great. Very easy to make.

I made these for my granddaughters with mixed success. They get five stars for the concept, but only 3 for execution, the main problem being that the gel is very difficult to control and looks very messy. I used dark chocolate Fudge Stripe cookies, for uniformity in color. Instead of using honey, I melted a few kisses in a small bowl and dipped the bottoms of the kisses for the hats into it before sticking them on the cookies. That worked well and was less messy and more secure than I think the honey would have been. If I were to make these again, I think I'd make a small amount of buttercream icing and tint it yellow for the trim.

Was fun to make - couldn't find yellow or white piping, so used red - made the hat look eerie. Friends enjoyed it - great for chocolate lovers!

The honey did not hold the kisses in place. The kisses slipped around while trying to add the colored frosted rim. Finally gave up. Cute idea but too hard to complete.

Really fun and easy! I substituted chocolate PB2 mixed up a little thicker than I would normally for peanut butter to adhere the Kisses to the cookies - which I think also added some flavor. If you've never tried PB2, I highly recommend it!

Made these with my preschool nieces at Halloween; they loved it.

Very fun look and very tasty. I found decorating the bands more difficult than I thought, but overall worth it.

These were delicious and light. We added 2 tsp. vanilla. We also experimented with adding dried cranberries to some of the batter. It tasted good, if you like cranberries. My husband graced his cookie with a dollop of whipped cream. The possibilities are never ending. Thanks for sharing.

Nice idea but disappointing in real life.

These were fun and really easy to do. I cheated and used some melted chocolate to attach the kisses. Not a fan of honey. First time ever using gel and it wasn't the greatest but didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought it would. Will need LOTS of practice to make the bow. I really enjoyed making these.

I made these for the 'grown-ups' at work - they loved them! I used yellow decorative icing and put it on the very edge of the kiss when I flattened them on the cookie they not only stuck, but made a lovely ring around the kiss.

It was a great treat for my Halloween party, and was requested at another Halloween party! Great recipe!

I USUALLY DO NOT MAKE THESE CUTSIE TYPE OF BAKING THINGS BUT I DECIDED TO TRY IT. THEY CAME OUT REALLY WELL AND SO VERY EASY TO DO. I USED ORANGE FOR TRIM AROUND THE KISSES AND PUT A DOLLOP OF ORANGE ON THE TIPPY TOP. I AM BRINGING THEM TO A GROWN UP PARTY AND I KNOW THEY WILL BE APPRECIATED.

I'm giving this 4 stars based on this....5 stars for ease and visual outcome of this recipe but only 3 stars for taste...hence a 4 star rating. It's still a store bought cookie and tastes that way so if your looking for a quick easy fun cookie to make with the little ones as helpers this is a great option but if your looking for something YUMMY GOOD to impress the adults this is not the go to recipe.

Super easy to make, and so cute! I attached the Hershey's kiss with frosting and made orange "ribbon" around the hat in true Halloween spirit. They're going to be a hit at my work potluck! My one recommendation is to not leave the cookies unattended while making these. I had to toss a package when my lab decided to lick all the rows because she dubbed herself "quality control."

It was great.

My son and coworkers loved them.. so I guess they were great..

Very easy to make and delisous! They look exactly like withces hats too! Very cute and kids vove them!

Very fun easy treat to make. My 4 and 6 yr old great granddaughters helped make them to share at their schools.

Tons of fun! I made them with my friend and they turned out great! I would for sure make them again! (:

Didn't have any decorater icing. Used peanut butter and Halloween decorating pieces. Also used a tiny bit of honey to stick the kiss on and then refrigerated for a few hours. They stuck together great!

Too cute! And extremely easy! I suggest getting a “backup” package of cookies- because I encountered a chunk of broken & that can make or break the total count. But, these are easily made, great for kids to assemble! Easy does it on the deco frosting. Very simple & visually appealing- they go quickly!

Super cute but I used red icing and it would be better with a brighter color. 4 instead of 5 cause I used chocolate icing instead of honey and everyone loved them.
