Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag Wilton Candy Melts (vibrant green)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (divided)
- 8 pretzel sticks
- 8 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 8 Halloween Oreos
- 8 Hershey’s Hugs
Instructions
- Prepare Workstation: Begin by laying out parchment paper on a cookie sheet to work as your base for the melted candy craft.
- Organize Ingredients: Get pretzel sticks, Reese’s, Oreos, Hugs, and mini chocolate chips out and ready so they are easy to grab and decorate quickly.
- Melt Candy Melts: Place 1 cup of vibrant green candy melts in a small pot and melt over low heat, stirring constantly to ensure smooth consistency without burning.
- Create Candy Circles: Once melted, spoon the candy melts onto the parchment paper and spread into circles approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- Melt Mini Chips: Quickly add remaining mini chocolate chips to a small pot and melt on low heat stirring constantly. Spoon a small amount onto the green candy circles and use a toothpick to swirl the colors together creating a marbled effect.
- Assemble Witch Faces: Place one Halloween Oreo on each circle as the witch’s hat. Dip Hershey’s Hugs into excess melted chocolate and attach them on top of the Oreos to decorate the hats. Use mini chocolate chips for the eyes by pressing them onto the candy melts near the Oreo hats.
- Add Witch Broomsticks: Stick a pretzel into each mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup to resemble a broomstick handle and place it on the opposite side of the Oreo on each candy circle.
- Set and Serve: Let the candy melts set completely at room temperature until firm and ready to eat or package for later enjoyment.
