Have you ever taken the Official Hogwarts House Sorting Quiz? Back when it was Pottermore I was sorted into Gryffindor but if I changed one answer I was in Ravenclaw. I should have pulled a Harry Potter and willed my way into Ravenclaw as I feel like I align with that house more than Gryffindor but my pragmaticism told me that I had to stick to my true answers.

Years later after I have accumulated various Gryffindor swag I still sometimes regret not choosing Ravenclaw. Although I guess Harry didn’t pick Gryffindor, just NOT Slytherin. But I digress.

The great thing about making these Sorting Hat Harry Potter Cookies, is that the sorting hat is meant to be misshapen. There’s no need to worry about perfectly dipping the sorting hats in chocolate. In fact, it’s almost encouraged to be a little sloppy with it, to better resemble the Hogwarts Sorting Hat.

While these Sorting Hat Harry Potter Cookies are not as official as a true Sorting Hat Ceremony, they are still plenty of fun to make and then eat. Didn’t get sorted into the right house the first time? Just eat another one. It’s like the Harry Potter Cookie version of a fortune cookie.

What do you need to make Sorting Hat cookies?

• Semisweet chocolate or chocolate candy melts
• Chocolate sandwich cookies – I prefer Oreo Thins
• Red, yellow, green, and blue candy melt discs
• Chocolate filled waffle cone bites, such as Muddy Bites***

You could also use anything else shaped like the Muddy Bites: bugles, Hershey’s kisses, or even cut the end off of ice cream cones (since that’s what Muddy Bites are anyway).

SORTING HAT HARRY POTTER COOKIES

Print

Yield: 2 Dozen Prep Time: 45 Minutes Cooking Time: 5 Minutes 5 Minutes

Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

• 12 oz. semisweet chocolate or chocolate candy melts
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
• 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (I used Oreo Thins)
• 6 each of Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue candy melt discs
• 24 chocolate filled waffle cone bites (I used two 2.33 oz. bags of Muddy Bites)

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper; set aside.
2. In a double boiler* add semisweet chocolate and stir until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed**. Remove from heat.
3. Dip one chocolate sandwich cookie in melted chocolate and use a fork to turn and coat. Let excess coating drip off, then place on prepared baking sheet. Place one colored candy disc in the center.
4. Next dip one Muddy Bite, coating all sides and letting excess drip off, then use forceps or tongs to place on top of the colored candy disc, forming a hat. If needed, use a spoon to drizzle more melted chocolate to cover the candy colored disc***.
5. Repeat for remaining ingredients. Allow to set until firm, about 30 minutes.
6. Let the sorting begin!

Notes

*Can also use a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 30 second intervals. **If chocolate seizes, add a little oil. ***You could also use anything similarly shaped, such as bugles or Hershey kisses. ****Don't worry if they look a little messy, the sorting hat is aged and crumpled anyway!
