I love Halloween. I am all about the costumes, sweets and scares.
As is tradition in my house, I host a night where my friends and I play a scary video game. We turn out all the lights and settle in to be scared as someone plays! This year we played Layers of Fear, a great scary game.
So with friends coming over I wanted to make a Halloween treat. I combined two classic desserts, cookies and rice crispy treats, to make a witches hat. Here is how I did it.
Supplies
Cookie Pizza
12 tbsp butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup brown m&ms
Rice Crispy Treats
1 box Coco-Krispies
10 oz marshmallows
3 tbsp butter
rest of the 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Step 1:
Make the chocolate chip cookie pizza. I am not reinventing the wheel here. I followed a recipe from
https://divascancook.com/giant-chocolate-cookie-recipe-pizza/
Her rescipe was straight forward and easy to follow. The one modification I made was instead of placing dark chocolate chips into the pizza cookie I used brown M&M's minis. The M&Ms are just what I had on hand.
Step 2:
Make the rice krispie treats. Again I followed another recipes here, right off the rice krispie box. Here is a link to how to make rice krispe treats http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/marshmallow-rice-krispies-treats-56923.aspx.
Step 3:
Mold the rice krispie treats. I folded a piece of wax paper into a cone and used that as a mold for the rice krispie treats. A pint glass helped hold everything. I used about a third of the rice krispie treats I made. Below are pictures of this.
Step 4:
Cover the cone in melted chocolate. Melt the rest of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. I did this in the microwave, heating up the chocolate for 10 seconds at a time. Using a spoon or a fork drip chocolate stripes over the pizza cookie, giving the pizza a striped look.
Attach the rice krispie treat cone to the pizza cookie with a spoonful of melted chocolate on the bottom of the cone. Place in the middle of the pizza cookie. With the rest of the melted chocolate, cover the cone. I started by pouring most of the chocolate over the top and smoothing it out with a spoon. That's it.
Here is the final product! Happy Halloween.
