Diy Edible Halloween Party Witch Hat Treat Recipes

CRISPY TREAT WITCH'S HAT

Steps:

• Melt 9 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add 3 packages marshmallows and heat, stirring, until completely melted. Add the chocolate-flavored rice cereal and stir until well coated. The mixture will look very white because of the melted marshmallow; that's okay because the color will fade. You can add a dash of cocoa powder to deepen the color if you'd like.
• For the hat base: Grease a large piece of parchment with butter. Oil your hands so the cereal doesn't stick, then remove about a quarter of the cereal mixture. Press and mold the mixture on the greased parchment to create a 10-inch flat circle.
• For the hat: Build the remaining cereal mixture into a cone with a 6-inch-wide base. Set the cone on top of the hat base. Shape bends and divots into the cone to make a realistic looking hat.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining package of marshmallows and heat, stirring, until melted. Stir in the plain rice cereal until well coated. Grease a small bowl with butter and transfer 1/2 cup of the cereal mixture to the bowl. Set aside.
• For the hatband: Add a few drops of green gel food coloring to the rest of the cereal mixture in the saucepan and mix well until the color is even. Using the green batch, create a 3-inch-wide band or strip to wrap around the entire base of the cone.
• For the buckle: Dust the reserved batch of cereal mixture with edible gold powder and shape into a square buckle. Press the buckle onto the base of the hatband. If the mixture doesn't hold its shape, let it set for 10 minutes to stiffen.

DIY EDIBLE HALLOWEEN PARTY WITCH HAT TREAT

Steps:

• Pour candy melts into a melting pot or a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high 1 minute, stir, and on 70% 30 seconds. Every microwave is different so this is not a rule, it's what works using my microwave. The goal is to melt the candy but not get it too hot. If you get it too hot it will thicken on you. If this happens you can add a tablespoon of shortening. NO WATER! Set up the drying station. Rice and skewers works best. Dip the tops of each bugle in the melted candy. Place on the skewer to dry. Separate the Oreo thins and scrap out the filling. Dip each wafer in the melted candy, place on a parchment lined baking pan. Put in the refrigerator to harden (about 15 minutes). If the edges need to be trimmed, use a microplainer, rub your warm finger around the edges to smooth it out. Dip the base of the bugle in the melted candy, press onto the center of the Oreo. Put in the refrigerator to harden (about 15 minutes). Brush on optional luster powder.
