One of our favourite Halloween treats to make every October is these simple, yet tasty Witches Hats! They fly off the plate when shared!
Party Treats
We have hosted or attended our share of Halloween parties for both kids and adults alike. These Witches Hats have always been a hit at spooky gatherings.
If you have taco seasoning and cream cheese you are good to go, just add tortilla chips! Pipe onto blue tortilla chips for a super fun treat that’s ghastly to eat!
For colour and contrast, we’ve sprinkled on diced carrots, sliced olives and chopped fresh cilantro to finish off our hats.
PRO TIPS:
- Instead of carrots you could use bell peppers and if you do not like the taste of cilantro, substitute in flat leaf parsley for the cilantro.
- Try fresh herbs like basil, dill, mint or parsley mixed with cream cheese, omitting the taco seasoning for a slimy green look.
- Other spices you could try would be chili powder and cumin blended, Za’atar, garam masala, or any spice blend you love.
- Make cream cheese the day before, store in refrigerator, remove a couple hours before serving to soften up before piping your hats.
For an adult gathering you could add cayenne pepper to the taco seasoned cream cheese to add some fiery spice to the mix!
