When it comes to holiday baking, you’re a total witch.

Audrey Davidow, author of the new recipe- and craft-filled storybook, CoCo Levine, Cupcake Queen, shares an easy trick for making Halloween treats that won’t scare you.

Witch Hat Cupcakes
Makes twelve

Ingredients
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
12 sugar cones
Colored sprinkles
12 chocolate cookies
Reese’s Pieces
12 frosted cupcakes

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chips on medium-high for 1-3 minutes, stirring intermittently.

2. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Hold each cone by its pointed end and dip open end into melted chocolate to coat. Set cones on baking sheet, pointed ends up. Refrigerate until chocolate starts to harden.

3. On a plate, spread sprinkles, then roll each cone in them to cover (chocolate should still be sticky).

4. Attach each sprinkle-coated cone to a cookie with a bit of frosting; rim each edge with Reese’s Pieces.

5. Place each cookie on a cupcake. Serve right away or refrigerate until needed.
