How did the Witches lose their fingers?
Well, let’s just say they won’t feel the urge to text from my dinner table any time soon….Mu-ah-ha-ha-ha!
Need a fun treat for your tricksters? These crispy rice cereal treats were so much fun to make! Plus, any day I get to dig my hands into green sticky goo is a good day in my book! They’re super easy to make and you just need 5 ingredients and 1 bowl!
Crispy Witches’ Fingers Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Combine butter and marshmallows in large microwave safe bowl
Microwave for 30 second intervals until…
…the marshmallows are puffed and squishy (took me about 1 min. and 30 seconds.)
Spray spatula with non-stick spray
Stir until smooth and gooey
Add food coloring a little at a time until you’re happy with the color
Green Goo!!
Stir in the crispiness!
Think this could pass for a salad?
Spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup…
…and your hands (you’ll need to reapply often)
Scoop out a 1/4 cupful
Give a squeeeeze
Roll like you did with Play Dough when you were 4! YAY!
Press-on-nail (It will seem loose at first but will stick better as it firms up)
Arrange on a tray lined with wax or parchment paper and allow to firm up
Snip the bottom of spider rings so they’ll fit around the plump fingers
Trick or Treat!

Crispy Witches' Fingers Recipe and Tutorial
Ingredients
- non-stick spray
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows (+16 additional marshmallows, regular size)
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- green food coloring (I used the gel/paste kind)
- candy corn
- spider rings (if desired)
Instructions
- Combine butter and marshmallows in large microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30-second intervals until they puff up and are very soft. (Took me 1 min. and 15 sec.)
- Spray a spatula with non-stick spray and stir until the marshmallows and butter make a smooth gooey mixture.
- Stir in food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green.
- Stir in cereal and mix until evenly coated.
- Lay out a silicone baking mat or large tray/board sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Spray a ¼ cup measuring cup and your hands with non-stick spray.
- Scoop out a ¼ cup cereal mixture.
- Squeeze the mixture in your hands to compact it.
- Roll into a cylindrical shape (like a hot dog.)
- Press a candy corn “fingernail” onto the finger and place on a wax or parchment lined tray to firm up*
Notes
*The candy corn will seem loose when they’re first pressed on, but will firm up as will the crispy mixture.
-The mixture is easier to work with as it firms up a little. You can always go back and reshape the fingers as they firm up.
-You can make these a couple days in advance and store in an airtight container.
That is a very cute idea for Halloween!
