Ingredients

6 strawberries washed
6 sugar cookies
1 cup dark melting chocolate
12 large candy eyes
6 green apples Stems removed, washed
6 mini yellow m&ms
Halloween colored sprinkles
3 sticks of string cheese
6 chocolate Twizzlers
6 chocolate pocky sticks
¼ cup each of white, orange, purple, and green icing

Instructions

Using a small knife, cut the tops of each strawberry off creating a flat even top.
Place a dot of white icing on each sugar cookie and place the strawberries cut side down onto the white icing to form the witch hat.
In a small bowl, melt chocolate according to the instructions on the package. Use a spoon to cover the strawberry hats with melted chocolate and then place them carefully on a non-stick surface. It will take a few minutes for the chocolate to harden, you can place them in your refrigerator to speed up this process.
Cut a small amount of apple from the bottoms of each apple to create a level bottom for the apples to sit on, this will prevent them from rolling around.
Using the white icing, place small dots where you would like the eyes to go on the apples, and then place the large candy eyes over the dots.
Spread a very thin layer of white icing around the top of each apple and then place one chocolate-covered strawberry witch hat on each apple. If the icing layer is too thick, the hats may slide.
Place a ring of colored icing around where the strawberry meets the cookie on each hat. Place a m&m in the icing on the front of the hat and sprinkle each icing band with colored sprinkles. Chill the apple witches in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the icing to harden and set.
For the string cheese brooms- cut each string cheese stick in half and make small cuts or peel the string cheese about ¾ of the way up. Place a stick of pocky into the uncut end about ½ inch.
Cut each twizzler in half lengthwise using a small knife or clean scissors. Tie each half around the top of each string cheese broom, being careful not to pull the knot too tight or it will break. Trim the excess twizzler.
Serve and enjoy them chilled or at room temperature.
