Fudge Stripe Witch Hat Cookies

Fudge stripe witch hat cookies are a cute, no-bake Halloween treat that I love making with just two ingredients. They look festive, taste great, and come together in just minutes—perfect for parties, trick-or-treat tables, or a fun activity with kids.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how simple and festive these little witch hats are. No baking, no mess, and they’re easy enough for kids to assemble. The combo of the chocolate cookie and the creamy kiss makes a sweet little bite that’s just the right amount of indulgent.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Fudge stripe cookies (upside-down is the key!)

• Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)

• Optional: frosting, candy melts, or decorative sprinkles for added flair

Directions

1. I turn the fudge stripe cookies upside down so the solid chocolate side faces up.

2. I squeeze a small dab of frosting or melted candy on the center of each cookie.

3. I press an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss onto the frosting so it sticks and forms the top of the hat.

4. If I want to decorate, I pipe a ring of colored frosting (like orange or green) around the base of the kiss or add a mini sprinkle buckle.

5. I let them sit at room temperature or in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set.

Variations

• I use colored frosting or candy melts to match the party theme.

• For a fun twist, I’ve used mini peanut butter cups instead of kisses.

• I sometimes use thin mints instead of fudge stripes for a minty version.

storage/reheating

I store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. I don’t refrigerate them unless my kitchen is warm, and there’s no need to reheat—just enjoy as-is.

FAQs

Do I have to use frosting to stick the kisses?

No, I’ve used melted chocolate or candy melts as glue too—just make sure they cool long enough to set.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often make them a day or two before a party. They hold up well and travel easily.

Can kids help make these?

Absolutely. It’s one of the easiest and most kid-friendly Halloween recipes I’ve made. No heat or sharp tools needed.

What’s the best frosting to use?

I usually use store-bought frosting or gel icing for easy piping, but homemade buttercream works too if I have it on hand.

Can I decorate them further?

Yes! I’ve added tiny candy “buckles” to make them look even more like witch hats. A little creativity goes a long way.

Conclusion

Fudge stripe witch hat cookies are a festive, no-fuss Halloween treat that I love whipping up in minutes. They’re cute, tasty, and always bring smiles—plus, they’re a perfect project for little hands and big imaginations.
