For some Halloween kitchen fun, you can't go past this super-easy microwave choc-chip biscuit. You can certainly make the scrumptious biscuit bases ahead of time, and then help the kids dip and attach the choc-coated witches hats. This recipe makes 12 witch hat biscuits plus a handful (approx 5) of plain choc-chip biscuits.
The Microwave Choc Chip Biscuit Base
1In a microwave safe bowl melt the plant-based Nuttelex and allow to cool for a few minutes. Next add both sugars and vanilla whisk to combine then add egg/ egg replacer whisking to a thick mixture.
2Lastly add the sifted flour, flaky salt, chocolate chips & chunks bringing mixture together into a dough with the aid of a spatula. Allow biscuit dough to rest for 10 minutes before continuing.
3Scoop out the biscuit mixture into 1.5 tablespoon measurement, and then roll each scoop into a balls. Take four of the biscuit balls, gently flatten with the back of a spoon and place them on the lined flat microwave-safe plate.
4Then bake in 2 x 2 minutes 10 second blocks or until cooked but soft to the touch. Repeat with remaining biscuit dough.
5Once cooked, let the biscuits stand for a minute on the plate before transferring them with a spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining biscuits
6Once cooled, arrange your biscuits over a couple of racks or trays so they are easy to pick up, and then let set, after you have added the pointy hat.
Witch Hats & Assembly
1Cut the ice-cream cones aiming to get a good sized witches hat from the pointy end. Then set the pointy hats to one side. (Keep the leftover waffle cone pieces for the next time you have ice cream- and crumble over the top).
2Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 10 second intervals stirring each time with a clean metal spoon until totally melted and smooth. It takes about 30 - 40 seconds depending on the microwave. Next use tongs or cooking tweezers to dip the cones one by one, into the melting chocolate. Cove each cone well in the melted chocolate before placing gently on top of your cooled choc-chip biscuit. (Any leftover melted chocolate from the bowl can popped in the fridge and later used for hot chocolate. Simply add a little sweetener and milk of choice)
3Once all biscuits are topped with a hat, use a slotted turner/ egg flipper to place your witch biscuits on a presentation plate or store in a deep Tupperware-style container.
