Ingredients
  

Witch hats:
  • â–¢ ½ 340 g package of milk chocolate candy melts
  • â–¢ 12 chocolate cookies * I use girl guide, but you can use oreos or any kind
  • â–¢ 12 bugles
  • â–¢ fondant, yellow
Witch Brooms:
  • â–¢ 48 almond slivers * approximately
  • â–¢ 12 pretzel sticks
Chocolate Bark:
  • â–¢ ½ 340 g package of green candy melts
  • â–¢ 2 lbs milk chocolate (melting chocolate) * you can also use milk chocolate chips
  • â–¢ 4 oz semi sweet dark chocolate
  • â–¢ .5 lb of semi-sweet chocolate (8 oz)
  • â–¢ 18 white candy eyeballs or small red candy eyeballs approximately

Method
 

  1. Melt the milk chocolate candy melts on 1/2 power in 30 second intervals. Keep checking, removing and stirring. 
  2. Dip each bugle in the melted chocolate candy melts and gently shake off excess.
  3. Immediately place bugles onto cookies and allow to harden.
  4. Once hardened, make a snake out of fondant and fit around the rim of each cookie hat, trimming to fit.
  5. Reheat the remaining milk chocolate candy melts if necessary. Dip one end of each pretzel stick into milk chocolate and lay on parchment paper. Add 4 almond slivers to each pretzel. Then spoon a little melted chocolate over the top of the almond sliver and let harden.
  6. Once hardened, trim the edges of the brooms with a paring knife.
  7. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt melting chocolate (or milk chocolate chips) at 50% (1/2 power) in microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Pour onto prepare pan (lined with parchment paper).
  8. Melt semi sweet chocolate in microwave the same as above. Drop by spoonfuls onto melted milk chocolate then swirl with knife to get desired effect.
  9. Melt green candy melts in microwave same as chocolate, then drop by spoonfuls (to make puddles) Take a knife and only swirl at some of the edges to get the desired effect. 
  10. Place cookie witch hats evenly (you can make more and add more if you like). Then place the brooms evenly throughout (you can also make additional brooms). Add the eyeball candies evenly throughout.
  11. Bang bottom of cookie sheet down on counter 3-4 times to remove air bubbles.
  12. Set aside and allow to harden for 1-2 hours. Cut and serve

Notes

Melting the chocolate at 50% power in 30-second intervals ensures that the chocolate achieves a silky-smooth consistency without seizing. This technique prevents overheating, which can lead to a grainy texture, allowing your chocolate to coat the bugles and pretzels perfectly.
