Ingredients

Units Scale

Witch Hats

  • 6 strawberries, washed
  • 6 sugar cookies
  • 1 cup dark melting chocolate
  • 12 large candy eyes

Apples

  • 6 green apples, stems removed and washed

Decorations

  • 6 mini yellow M&Ms
  • Halloween colored sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup white icing
  • 1/4 cup orange icing
  • 1/4 cup purple icing
  • 1/4 cup green icing

String Cheese Brooms

  • 3 sticks of string cheese
  • 6 chocolate Twizzlers
  • 6 chocolate Pocky sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberry Witch Hats: Using a small knife, cut the tops off each strawberry to create a flat, even surface. Place a dot of white icing on each sugar cookie and then set the strawberries cut side down onto the icing to form witch hats.
  2. Melt and Coat Chocolate: In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate according to package instructions. Use a spoon to cover the strawberry hats with melted chocolate, then transfer them carefully onto a non-stick surface. Allow the chocolate to harden; refrigerate to speed this process.
  3. Prepare Apples: Cut a small slice from the bottom of each apple to create a flat base, preventing them from rolling.
  4. Attach Candy Eyes: Using white icing, place small dots on the apples where you want the eyes, then press two large candy eyes onto each apple over the icing dots to secure them.
  5. Place Witch Hats on Apples: Spread a thin layer of white icing around the top of each apple and gently place one chocolate-covered strawberry witch hat on each. A thin icing layer helps prevent the hats from sliding off.
  6. Decorate Hats: Pipe a ring of colored icing (orange, purple, green, or white) around where the strawberry meets the cookie on each hat. Place a mini yellow M&M in the icing at the front of the hat and sprinkle with Halloween colored sprinkles. Chill the apple witches in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the icing to set.
  7. Make String Cheese Brooms: Cut each string cheese stick in half. Peel or cut small strands about three-quarters up the stick to resemble broom bristles. Insert a chocolate Pocky stick about half an inch into the uncut end.
  8. Secure Twizzler Handles: Cut each chocolate Twizzler in half lengthwise carefully. Tie each half around the top of the string cheese broom without pulling too tight to avoid breakage. Trim any excess Twizzler.
  9. Serve: Arrange the witch apples with the string cheese brooms. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your spooky, delicious Halloween treat!

Notes

  • Storage: Store the witch apple snacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Substitution Tips: You can vary the icing colors to fit your preferences—popular Halloween colors include green, orange, purple, black, brown, yellow, or red.
  • Chocolate Twizzlers can be substituted with licorice Twizzlers if preferred.
  • Chocolate Pocky sticks can be replaced with chocolate-covered pretzel sticks for a different texture.
