Instructions
Place the semi-sweet morsels in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 40 seconds, then stir, then microwave on 50% for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the morsels are completely melted.
12 oz semi-sweet morsels
Place a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet or other flat tray. Dip each round cookie or cracker in the chocolate, scrape off the excess, and place on the wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

Add ½ cup powdered sugar and ½ tablespoon water in each of 3 small bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring in each to create the orange, green, and purple colors. Mix well until the icing is stiff. Add more food coloring, a drop or two at a time, until the colors are vibrant enough for you. If the icing is too stiff, add a little water. If it is too runny, add a little more sugar.

Remove the chocolate covered rounds from the refrigerator. Drop a dollop of icing (about ¼ teaspoon) to the center of each, then press down with a chocolate kiss so that the excess icing forms a ring around the bottom.

Allow the icing to set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes
If you prefer, you could use melted white chocolate instead of the icing. They even sell candy melts that are already colored!
There's a great variety of chocolate kisses, so if you prefer something with a different flavor or some kind of filling (like peanut butter or caramel), the options are vast.
Instead of coating crackers with chocolate, you could use thin chocolate mint cookies as a base to save time.
Drizzle these with some melted peanut butter, caramel, or white chocolate, and then decorate with festive sprinkles for even fancier edible head wear!
Switch things up and use chocolate-coated marshmallows instead of chocolate kisses to turn these witchy desserts into top hats!
