Ingredients You’ll Need

To make your Melted Witch Chocolate Cookies, gather the following ingredients. Each one adds flavor, texture, or fun to your spooky creation:

Chocolate Cookies (baked and cooled) – The base of your witch cookies! Soft, chewy chocolate cookies provide the perfect foundation for all your candy decorations. You can use homemade cookies or a store-bought variety.
Forest Green and Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers – These colorful wafers melt smoothly and set quickly, making them ideal for decorating. Forest green creates the witch’s robe or body, while dark chocolate adds details like arms and mouths.
Marshmallows – Fluffy and sweet, marshmallows become the witch’s head. Their soft texture pairs perfectly with the chocolate coating and candy decorations.
Mini Peanut Butter Cups – Tiny, creamy, chocolatey peanut butter cups form the base of the witch’s broomstick. Their sweetness contrasts nicely with the salty pretzel bristles.
Mini Pretzel Sticks – Crunchy and slightly salty, pretzels mimic broom bristles. They also add a fun texture contrast to the soft cookie and marshmallow.
Oreo Cookies – Classic chocolate sandwich cookies create a whimsical witch hat base when paired with a Hershey Kiss. They also add chocolatey crunch.
Hershey Kisses – The iconic chocolate kisses form the pointy tip of the witch’s hat, giving your cookies that instantly recognizable witchy silhouette.
M&M’s (halved) – Colorful candy pieces make a cute little nose. Halving them ensures the nose is the perfect size for the marshmallow head.
Edible Googly Eyes – These playful eyes give your witch cookies personality and charm, instantly making them more fun and festive.

Step-by-Step Directions

Follow these instructions to bring your witches to life:

1. Bake and Cool Your Chocolate Cookies

If you’re making cookies from scratch, choose a rich chocolate cookie recipe that yields soft, chewy cookies. Let them cool completely before decorating; this prevents the chocolate melts from sliding off.

2. Prepare the Green Chocolate “Puddle”

Melt your forest green chocolate wafers according to package instructions. Using a spoon, dump and spread a puddle (not too thin!) onto each cookie. This will serve as the witch’s body or robe.

3. Decorate the Marshmallow Witch Head

Insert a toothpick into each marshmallow and dip it into the green chocolate melts. This will become your witch’s head. Stick the marshmallow on the green chocolate puddle on your cookie.

4. Build the Witch Hat

Place a Hershey Kiss on top of the marshmallow head.
Layer a mini Oreo underneath the Hershey Kiss for extra flair. The combination creates a classic pointy witch hat shape.

5. Add the Broom

Insert a mini peanut butter cup near the marshmallow.
Stick a few mini pretzel sticks into the peanut butter cup to create a broom handle and bristles. This adds whimsical detail and a bit of crunch.

6. Add the Face Details

Place halved M&Ms on the marshmallow for the nose.
Stick edible googly eyes just above the nose.
Pipe the mouth and arms with melted dark or milk chocolate, or use brown candy melts. Use a toothpick or small piping bag for precision.

7. Chill to Set

Freeze the decorated cookies for 10–15 minutes. This helps the chocolate melts harden and keeps all the candy decorations securely in place.

8. Serve and Enjoy!

Once set, your Melted Witch Chocolate Cookies are ready to impress. Arrange them on a platter for a Halloween party centerpiece, or gift them in a festive box.

Tips for Success

Use good-quality melting chocolate: It melts smoothly and gives your cookies a professional finish.
Don’t overfill with candy: A balanced cookie is easier to eat and keeps decorations intact.
Try different colors: Swap green for purple, orange, or black chocolate melts to match your party theme.
Customize your witches: Different hat shapes, broom styles, or facial expressions give each cookie a unique personality.
Work quickly: Chocolate melts set fast. If it begins to harden, gently reheat for smooth application.
