Witch Hat Oreo Cookies Recipe

I make these witch hat Oreo cookies every single Halloween, and I genuinely can't believe how little effort they take for how cute they turn out. I stumbled onto the idea a few years back and haven't looked for another no-bake Halloween treat since.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 double stuffed Oreo cookies — the extra cream filling gives a sturdier base that holds the Hershey's Kiss without crumbling
  • ½ cup chocolate chips melted — acts as the glue that holds the whole witch hat together
  • 12 Hershey's Kisses unwrapped — forms the pointed top of the hat for that classic witch look
  • Halloween sprinkles — adds the festive rim around the base don't skip these or the hats look bare
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil optional — thins the melted chocolate slightly so dipping goes smoother

Method
 

  1. Lay a sheet of parchment paper across your counter or on a baking tray. Set out your Oreo cookies in a row so they're ready to dip as soon as the chocolate is melted.
  2. Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between each round. Keep going until the mixture turns fully smooth and glossy, which usually takes about a minute total.
  3. Dip one side of each Oreo into the melted chocolate, letting any extra drip back into the bowl. Place the cookie chocolate-side up on your parchment paper right away.
  4. While the chocolate is still wet, press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Sprinkle your Halloween sprinkles around the rim so they stick to the melted chocolate before it firms up.
  5. Move your tray to the fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes so the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, your witch hats are ready to serve or pack away for later.

Notes

  • I always reach for double stuffed Oreos, since the regular kind can feel a little flimsy once the chocolate is added on top.
  • I stir a small splash of vegetable oil into my melted chocolate, which makes dipping so much smoother and less clumpy.
  • I decorate each cookie the second it's dipped, since the sprinkles won't stick once the chocolate starts to set.
  • I like using dark chocolate Kisses for a slightly richer flavor and a color that pops more against the sprinkles.
  • I always make a few extra, because these disappear from the plate faster than anything else I bring to a party.
