"Witch" Way Did They Go?

I have the feeling there was some sort of witch convention of sorts around here last night...

 

 Looks like they parked their brooms and never came back!

They must have been in a big hurry for some reason! They also checked their hats...

but never picked them up. I have the feeling they may return tonight because they'll need these tomorrow:)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Witches' Hats
Chocolate wafer cookies
Hershey's kisses
Icing/frosting

Use chocolate frosting(I used a tub of store-bought) to adhere the kisses to the cookies.  Color some icing(I used royal icing) orange and ice a ribbon around the base of the kiss.

Witches' Broomsticks**

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup  Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 16 pretzel rods (8-1/2 inches long)
• 2 teaspoons shortening
• 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour and baking soda in medium bowl. Beat peanut butter, butter, brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add egg and egg yolk. Gradually add flour mixture beating on low speed after each addition until blended. Shape dough into 16 (1-1/4-inch) balls. Place pretzel rods on ungreased baking sheets. Press ball of dough onto end of each pretzel. Press fork firmly into each dough ball to leave indentations resembling broom bristles. Bake 12 minutes. Let brooms cool on baking sheets placed on wire racks 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Place brooms on wax paper. Melt chocolate and shortening together and spoon over the portion of the treat where the cookie and pretzel join together.  Let dry.

* Cookie design from Betty Crocker.Cookie recipe adapted from simple and delicious. * One way to adapt this cookie for Thanksgiving(fall) would be to drizzle a bit of chocolate on the bottom of the broom and then sprinkle some fall colored leaf sprinkles onto that:)
