Tips and variations for making these Halloween witch’s hat cupcakes:

● The recipe, as shown, used the special dark Hershey’s kisses, as it perfectly colors matched with the York peppermint patties, which are dark chocolate too. If you prefer, milk chocolate kisses or vampire Hershey kisses also work well.

● Use food gel for the frosting colorant for brighter, more vivid coloring.

● Oreo Thin cookies are a good option if you are not a fan of York peppermint patties.

● Remember to allow the chocolate time to dry, so you do not make fingerprints in the chocolate.

● If you do not wish to use tub frosting, make your own classic vanilla buttercream frosting, and color the frosting to match the witch’s hats.

● Cover leftovers with plastic wrap and store in a cool place or airtight in the refrigerator – depending on your cupcake recipe used.

● Reheating – Do not reheat.
