Ingredients

  • 20 fudge-striped cookies (or any round chocolate cookies)
  • 20 mini peanut butter cups or Rolos
  • 1/4 cup chocolate frosting or melted chocolate
  • 1/4 cup green frosting or melted green candy melts
  • Halloween sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or candy eyes
  • Optional: 20 pretzel sticks or licorice pieces for stirring sticks

Instructions

  1. Turn fudge-striped cookies upside down so the solid chocolate side faces up.
  2. Use chocolate frosting or melted chocolate to attach a mini peanut butter cup slightly off-center on each cookie.
  3. Spoon or pipe green frosting on top of each peanut butter cup to resemble bubbling potion.
  4. Decorate the green potion with Halloween sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or candy eyes.
  5. Insert a pretzel stick or licorice piece into each cauldron for a “stirring stick,” if using.
  6. Let cookies set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.

Notes

  • Use tinted white frosting or green candy melts if you don’t have green frosting.
  • Swap peanut butter cups for mini marshmallows or chocolate kisses for nut-free options.
  • Decorate with crushed candy canes, Pop Rocks, or pipe colored frosting for a magical twist.
  • Store in a single layer to prevent decorations from smudging.
