Description
These Witch Hat Brownies are a fun and festive Halloween treat that combine rich, fudgy brownies with chocolate-dipped sugar cones, creating adorable edible witch hats perfect for parties or spooky celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus required ingredients on box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Decorations
- 12 sugar cones
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Orange decorating gel
- 12 round cookies (optional, for wider brim)
Instructions
- Bake the Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, baking it in a 9×13 inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely so they set properly.
- Cut Brownie Circles: Use a round cookie cutter or a large glass to cut 12 circles from the cooled brownies. These will serve as the base of the witch hats.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each to ensure smoothness and prevent burning.
- Attach Sugar Cones: Dip the rim of each sugar cone into the melted chocolate, then immediately place the cone upside down onto a brownie circle, using the chocolate as glue to secure it.
- Add Buckle Decoration: Use the orange decorating gel to draw a small square “buckle” on each cone, adding a festive finishing touch.
- Optional Wider Brim: If desired, attach round cookies underneath each brownie circle with melted chocolate to create a wider brim effect for the witch hats.
Notes
- Allow brownies to cool completely for best structural integrity when assembling.
- Use a glass or cookie cutter similar in diameter to the cone base to ensure perfect fit.
- Microwave chocolate chips in short bursts to avoid scorching.
- Cookies as wider brims add a fun look but can be omitted for simpler hats.
- Store assembled witch hats in a cool place to prevent melting.
