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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular fillings include chocolate, peanut butter, and jelly; fruit, such as apples and bananas; and nuts, such as walnuts and pecans.
- Get creative with your decorating: Use sprinkles, candy, or icing to make your hats festive and fun. You can also use different shaped cookie cutters to create different hat shapes.
- Don't overfill the hats: Otherwise, they may become too heavy and fall apart. A little filling goes a long way.
- Bake the hats until they are just set: Otherwise, they may become too dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of a hat should come out clean when it is done baking.
- Let the hats cool completely before frosting them: Otherwise, the frosting may melt or slide off the hats.
Conclusion:
Witch's Snack Hats are a fun and easy Halloween treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. With a little creativity, you can make Witch's Snack Hats that are both delicious and festive. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
