Time 1h

Yield 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the parchment and bowl
Four 10-ounce packages marshmallows
Two 15.5-ounce boxes chocolate-flavored rice cereal
Dash cocoa powder, optional
Vegetable oil, for oiling your hands
One 12-ounce box plain rice cereal
Green gel food coloring, for coloring the cereal mixture
Edible gold powder, for dusting the cereal mixture

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.

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon shortening
4 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, chopped
1 (4 3/4 ounce) package chocolate ice cream cones (sugar cone)
halloween candy sprinkles
12 thin chocolate wafers (2 1/4-inch diameter)

Steps:

For mousse, in a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup cream to a boil; remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip pointed tips of ice cream cones a third of the way into melted chocolate; roll in sprinkles.
Refrigerate until set.
Just before serving, spoon mousse into cones. Top each with a chocolate wafer. Invert onto a serving platter.

Tips:

Make sure the chocolate is completely melted and smooth before adding it to the mousse mixture. This will help to prevent the mousse from curdling.
When folding the whipped cream into the mousse, be gentle and do not overmix. Overmixing will cause the mousse to lose its airy texture.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the mousse into the witch's hats.
To make the witch's hats more stable, you can chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before filling them with mousse.
You can decorate the witch's hats with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other Halloween-themed decorations.

Conclusion:

These mousse-filled witches' hats are a fun and festive Halloween treat that is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So get creative and have fun with it!
