Witches’ Hats Halloween Treats

Holiday decorated treats are lots of fun to look at. Fill them with other treats and, well, you’re in for one really neat treat! I love that this treat takes things that are good and stand alone by themselves and combined them to make a treat that hides other treats. Here’s how you make it.
