Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 Fudge Stripe Shortbread Cookies
  • 12 Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
  • 1 tube Orange or yellow icing gel with a fine tip

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon or small offset spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Assembly
  1. Melt the chocolate wafers or chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  2. Place a small dollop of melted chocolate on the striped side of each Fudge Stripe cookie.
  3. Gently press an unwrapped Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup onto the chocolate dollop, creating the "hat" shape.
  4. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or by refrigerating for a few minutes.
  5. Once set, use the icing gel to pipe a small square "buckle" onto the front of each Reese's cup.

Notes

Ensure the chocolate is fully set before adding the icing buckle to prevent smudging. For extra flair, add a tiny piece of candy corn as a feather.
