Halloween Treat Melted Witches

Today, I’d like to celebrate the first day of Autumn, with a new favorite Halloween treat melted witches.

There are three things I love about Halloween. Ok. Four. 1) Halloween treats; 2) the Dazzling array of interesting Halloween Costumes Ideas ; 3) Halloween Party Décor (to decorate your home for Halloween even if the party is not at your house… wink); and 4) the original Wiccan story of harvest and renewal. Actually five things. I love taking photos at Halloween capturing moments of creativity and family delight, all embracing that season of abundance, sweet miracles (aka candy) and delicious spookiness.

So, let’s start with #1: HALLOWEEN TREATS !!!!!

Many easy Halloween Treats for kids to choose from, but Melted witches are a classic, which is why I am featuring them. And they are still really popular. Most importantly, they are oh-so-fun Halloween treats for kids. That is, they are fun to make for kids, fun to give away as a Halloween classroom treat, or a kids party favor. And best of all: these melted witches are fun to eat for kids (and for child-like minded folks like me) !

You might want to prep things a bit ahead of time, but, by and large, these treats are for your kids to make (and to eat !).

Melted Witches Recipe?

I put a question mark there, as this is not really a recipe, but more a candy assembly project! There are quite a few ways of making melted witches, but the below is what the various recipes online have in common.

For each of Melted Witch Halloween treats, you’ll need:

p>Candy Broom

• 1 pretzel stick some pliable candy such as flattened Laffy Taffy

to wrap around the pretzel to make it into a broom. Alternatively, what I believe to be the original recipe uses shredded coconut pieces dipped into melted white chocolate.

Chocolate Puddle

• White (& Dark) Chocolate Chips

( optional food coloring

… green …. ) to make the puddle.

Cookie Witch Hat

• 1/2 or a whole chocolate Oreo cookie

is the rim of the hat.

Now for the cone of the hat, there are 2 versions. The easiest, and most common version of this melted witch cookie features a simple Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses

Hershey kiss.

The slightly more complicated recipe of this Halloween treat makes the hat cone from dripped chocolate over Bugles

.

How to Make Halloween Treat Melted Witches

Simple: start with making all the brooms. When that’s done, make the hats. Attach the cone of the hat to the Oreos with some melted chocolate. For the puddles, melt the white chocolate and add a drop of food coloring. Melt the dark (or milk) chocolate. Pour a circle of one and immediately pour a circle of the other colored chocolate over it. Plop the hat and the broom on top while the chocolate sets. Wait for about half an hour before presenting these.

It appears that the original recipe is from Taste of My Home from a few years back, however, I like the modern take that from Duke Photography gives to these Halloween treats.

This Halloween treat melted witches are not the only easy treats for kids we’ve created.
