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!

- 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.
