- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 10 chocolate kisses
- Black decorating gel

Step-by-step instructions
Now that you have everything ready, let’s walk through the process:

- Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each triangle in half. This gives you the perfect shape to create the conical hats.
- Spread a small amount of chocolate hazelnut spread on each triangular piece. A thin layer will do—you don’t want it to overflow when baking!
- Roll each piece into a cone shape, starting from the wide end to the tip, ensuring it’s neatly sealed.
- Place a chocolate kiss at the top of each cone. This will act as the tip of the witch’s hat, adding the perfect finishing touch.
- Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown. Your kitchen will smell divine!
- Once cooled, you can use black decorating gel to draw whimsical details on the hats and dust them lightly with powdered sugar right before serving.

Serve them on a festive platter at your Halloween party alongside pumpkin spice cupcakes, or enjoy them as a sweet snack while watching spooky movies with the family. Pairing them with a warm cup of hot cocoa or apple cider can elevate the experience even further.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, storage is key. Keep any uneaten Witch Hat Crescent Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, they can be frozen for up to a month. Just thaw in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to enjoy them again!
Pro chef tips
Here are some nifty tips to make your Witch Hat Crescent Rolls even better:
- Don’t overfill! A little hazelnut spread goes a long way, so be cautious not to put too much in, or it may ooze out during baking.
- Seal tightly: Make sure the edges of your rolled dough are pinched well to ensure they hold their shape.
- Get creative with decorations: Besides the black decorating gel, you can use colored sprinkles to add a fun twist for different holidays or celebrations.
Creative twists
Looking to mix it up? Here are some variations to consider:
- Nutella and peanut butter mix: Blend the chocolate hazelnut and peanut butter for a deliciously different flavor.
- Fillings: Swap the chocolate hazelnut spread for caramel sauce or even a fruity jam for a unique taste experience.
- Fun toppings: Try adding edible glitter or candy eyes for a spooky or playful look!
