    Nutella Fudge Witch Hats

    You don't need magical powers to make these Nutella Fudge Witch Hats. These sweet little Halloween treats are simple to make using just a few ingredients and they look super cute.

    chocolate Nutella fudge witch hats with orange and black nonpareils hat band.

    Nutella blended with black candy melts makes a rich and creamy fudge that's used to create the tops of these witch hats. Each fudge cone is decorated with orange and black nonpareils and is then attached to a chocolate cookie.

    To get the perfect-shaped cone for the hats, you'll need a silicone cone mold. I used a Wilton Petite Treat Cone Silicone Mold.

    The fudge, is liquid when warm, so it's easy to pipe into the mold, but once frozen will set firm, so you can easily get the cones out of the mold. Then as the fudge thaws it becomes soft and creamy.

    Ingredients

    Nutella Fudge:

    • Black Candy Melts - You could also use Dark Cocoa Candy Melts. If you want the hats to be black, add some oil-based black candy coloring. 
    • Nutella

    Decorations:

    • Black Candy Melts
    • orange and black nonpareils
    • thin chocolate cookies (3 inch round) - I used Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. 

    Supplies

    • mixing bowl
    • silicone spatula or spoon
    • disposable pastry bag or squeeze bottle
    • silicone cone mold

    Instructions

    Use easy 2 ingredient Nutella Fudge to create Witch Hat Halloween treats. See the recipe at HungryHappenings.com.

    Melt the black candy melts and then stir in the Nutella. 

    Spoon the fudge into a disposable pastry bag. 

    Pipe the fudge into the cavities in a silicone cone mold (Christmas tree mold). 

    Pop the mold into the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the fudge hardens. Remove the mold from the freezer and un-mold the candy by turning the mold upside down and pressing on the mold, pushing the candy out.

    Use a simple 2 ingredient Nutella Fudge to make sweet little Witch Hats for Halloween. See the recipe at Hungry Happenings.

    Allow the fudge cones to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before decorating.

    You can either use store-bought or homemade chocolate cookies. You'll want them to be about 3 inches in diameter.

    To decorate the hats, pipe some candy melts around the bottom edge of a fudge cone and dip in some orange and black nonpareils. Pipe a small dab of candy melts in the center of a chocolate cookie and set the decorated fudge cone on top. Allow the candy melts to dry.

    Storage

    Store these Halloween treats in an airtight container for up to a few weeks.

      While I have tried Nutella..it was only to taste it. I have never used it for or with anything..but I would love to try your fudge. Anything chocolate is a winner in my book. 🙂

      You may not believe I have never tried nutella, yes, I'm probably the only one on the planet who hasn't. But now that you've mixed it with chocolate, how can I resist? Sounds so yummy and just a wee bit wicked!
