Halloween witches’ hats
You will need:
1 packet of Griffin’s Cookie Bear Stripes biscuits (or similar)
1 packet of Hershey’s Kisses (caramel flavoured)
Orange icing
To make a basic icing:
This is sufficient to cover 1 dozen biscuits. Try green icing or a wickedly black one for a different look.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup icing (confectioner’s) sugar
1 teaspoon softened butter or margarine
1 teaspoon water or milk
Orange food colouring (we used yellow and red to make orange)
To make icing:
1. Combine butter and icing (confectioner’s) sugar in a small bowl.
2. Add half a teaspoon of water (or milk), stirring, then slowly add the rest of the water until you achieve the desired consistency.
3. Add a small amount of food colouring. We combined yellow and red food colouring in a cup, then used a teaspoon to add a small amount to the icing until we were happy with the result.
Putting it all together:
1. Snip off one corner of a zip lock or other plastic bag and insert a piping nozzle (with small round tip) into it. Or use a conventional piping bag.
2. Place icing inside the bag, and twist the bag to seal in the icing (as you would with a conventional piping bag).
3. Turn your biscuits upside down and pipe icing around the holes in the centre of each biscuit.
4. Place a Hershey’s Kiss on top of the icing and push down gently.
5. Pour a cup of tea and enjoy your handy work. It’s that easy!
Happy Halloween!
