Icy Witch

Kids will love making -- and eating -- these frightfully good snacks!
By Malia Leonard; photo by Tina Rupp

Makes 4 witches; freeze 3 hours before serving.


  • 1 qt vanilla ice cream
  • 2 pouches shredded wheat cereal
  • 4 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
  • Chocolate icing
  • 4 Oreo ice cream cones
  • 8 chocolate chips
  • 1 bag gummy candy
  • 1 red licorice lace

1. Divide ice cream into four 1-cup scoops; wrap each in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.

2. Pull apart shredded wheat into thin strips to use as hair; set aside. Spread chocolate icing on each wafer cookie and stick on a cone for the hat.

3. Unwrap each ice-cream scoop and place on a plate; top with shredded-wheat hair. Use chocolate icing as glue to stick cone hat atop hair, as shown. Add chocolate-chip eyes, gummy-candy nose, and licorice-strip mouth. Serve this wicked witch before she melts!
