Halloween isn’t traditionally celebrated in New Zealand, but over the years it’s crept in… whether it’s trick or treating or school Halloween parties – like it or not, BOO… it’s here.
It’s one of those times of year that some of us who are baking-challenged drop dead… with dread. All of the amazing Pinterest-looking cookies start filling up our newsfeeds and can give us anxiety (or false hope that we’ll nail it) but… NOT this year! Read on for the Molly Woppy cheats version of Halloween “baking” ideas for 2021.
First of all… forget baking your own cookies.
I mean, who has the time (or ability) when you can just pop to the shop and grab some delicious Molly Woppy Cookies to decorate. Here are some super easy ideas:
Witches Hats
These ones are SUPER easy. You’ll need a box or two of our Choccy Coconut Ruff cookies, some icing, and some Hershey’s chocolate kisses. Simply colour the icing purple or orange, pipe onto the cookie, and place the kiss on top. Done! A plate of Witches Hats ready to share.
Mummy Biscuits
Use our Dark Choc Caramel Popcorn cookies, plus dark chocolate drops and white icing. Drizzle the white icing over the cookie to create mummy-style bandages. Use the icing to pipe two round white circles for eyes, then pop a chocolate drop in the centre of each for pupils.
Pumpkin Lantern Platter
This one’s a real showstopper. Use our Tasty’N’Cheesy Bites, Oaty Apricot Super Seedy Cookies, and Lemon Moment Bites, and arrange them in rows alongside carrot sticks, mango, dried apricots, and blueberries to build your pumpkin lantern masterpiece. You’ll impress everyone – guaranteed copycat platter next year.
Wherever you are, and however you’re celebrating, we hope you enjoy the Halloween weekend with a scary movie or two. If you give any of these spooky Molly Woppy creations a go, share the love and tag us in!
Happy Halloween! 🎃
