Melted Witch Puddles Recipe

Prep: 1 hour + chilling

Yield: 36 Servings

60 60

Ingredients

1 teaspoon water
4 drops yellow food coloring
1-1/2 cups flaked coconut
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons shortening, divided
36 chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
36 Bugles
4 cups vanilla or white chips
36 pretzel sticks

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine water and food coloring; add coconut. Seal bag and shake to tint coconut; set aside. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons shortening; stir until smooth.
For witches' hats, place about 1/3 cup chocolate mixture in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe a small amount of chocolate on a cookie. Dip a Bugle in some of the remaining chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Position over chocolate on cookie, forming a witch's hat. Set on waxed paper to dry. Repeat with remaining chocolate, Bugles and cookies.
For puddles, melt vanilla chips and the remaining shortening; stir until smooth. Place mixture in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe mixture into the shape of a puddle onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
Immediately place a witch's hat on the puddle. Place a pretzel stick alongside the hat; sprinkle reserved tinted coconut at the end of the pretzel stick. Repeat with remaining puddles, hats and brooms. Chill for 15 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.

This idea is so creative! The recipe may sound a little mixed up, but the details are all there and understandable. We are going to really enjoy making these! This idea totally ROCKS!

We apologize for a slight error in the directions. The 3rd step should read, "For puddles, melt vanilla chips and the remaining shortening; stir until smooth. Place mixture in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag."

It will be corrected and updated here soon.

I think it should say "For Puddles" instead of "For Brooms" in step 3.

Was going to make these but it sounds like part of the recipe is missing for steps 3 and 4

I'm not sure, but reading through the recipe, it sounds like something is missing in step #3 after "for brooms". It is a really adorable idea, though!
