FAQ
Q: Can I make these Witch’s Hat Oreo Cookie Cups in advance?
A: Yes! You can prepare the Oreo cups and chill them in the fridge up to a day in advance. Assemble the witch hats just before serving to keep the decorations fresh.
Q: Can I use a different type of cookie for the hats?
A: Absolutely! If you don’t have chocolate wafer cookies, you can use any flat cookie, such as thin chocolate chip cookies or even vanilla wafers, for the hat brims.
Q: Can I substitute the mini peanut butter cups?
A: Yes! You can substitute with any similar-sized chocolate candy, like Rolos or chocolate truffles, to create the witch hats if peanut butter isn’t preferred.
Q: What can I use instead of cream cheese in the Oreo filling?
A: You can use mascarpone or even a vegan cream cheese alternative for a similar creamy texture. Just keep in mind that this may alter the flavor slightly.
Q: Can I add color to the Oreo filling?
A: Definitely! You can add food coloring to the Oreo mixture to make the cups even more festive. Green or purple would work great for Halloween!
Q: How should I store leftover Witch’s Hat Oreo Cookie Cups?
A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the hats are on, keep them separate to avoid soggy cookies.
Q: Can I make this recipe without a mini muffin tin?
A: Yes! If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can simply shape the Oreo mixture into small balls and flatten them into cup shapes by hand.
