Substitute witch fingers are a fun and creative Halloween treat that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. These spooky snacks are made by transforming simple ingredients into creepy, finger-shaped treats. To make substitute witch fingers, a few pantry staples are required. The base for these snacks is typically a breadstick or pretzel rod, which serves as the finger. Other ingredients such as cream cheese or almond butter are then used to create a more realistic look. To make the fingers appear more lifelike, almond slices are commonly used as fingernails.
Color Wonder products use leuco dye that interacts with certain compounds in the special paper to turn into the intended color. In general, leuco dye will switch between two chemical forms, one of which is colorless, and requires a chemical reaction in order to change into a colored form - some chemical reactions can be triggered by temperature or acidity level.
For Color Wonder, there are various components in a dye color, which are suspended in an emulsifier, and react to chemicals in the paper when they come together.

Crayola Color Wonder
Color Wonder, also sold as Color Wonder Mess Free Coloring, are specialized dyes that only work on Color Wonder paper. It was first released in 1993 as markers, and later as paints, fingerpaints, paintbrush pens, and scented stamps. A single Magic Light Brush color applicator was later introduced. When the dye is applied to the paper, the color will slowly appear. It does not change color on other surfaces, which takes the interest of parents wanting to keep their spaces clean from paint.
The Color Wonder markers and the containers of Color Wonder paint dye will produce colors when applied to the special paper. Each color is a chemically different dye. A Crayola CreaTiVe Workshop video said that the Color Wonder finger-paint can be used on all other Color Wonder products, meaning the dye they've used has remained the same - the Magic Light Brush is not needed for the dye included with it. The dye can be mixed but do not mix like regular paint - the dyes will slowly appear in different orders, and merge together. A bright yellow dye result and a bright blue dye result will mix and appear as an off muted green instead of a brighter green.
Once the fingers are assembled, they can be adorned with additional details to enhance the spooky factor. Edible dyes or food coloring can be used to create a more realistic skin tone, or red food coloring can be added to resemble blood. Substitute witch fingers can be served at Halloween parties or events, and they make for a fun and interactive snack. They can be arranged on a platter or displayed in a jar to resemble a witch's cauldron. The beauty of substitute witch fingers is that they allow for endless creativity. Different variations can be made using various spreads, breadsticks, or pretzel rods. For example, peanut butter or Nutella can be used instead of cream cheese or almond butter. Different flavors and shapes of pretzel rods can also be utilized. Overall, substitute witch fingers are a festive and delicious way to celebrate Halloween. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a fun treat to make with the kids, these spooky snacks are sure to be a hit. They add a touch of whimsy and creepiness to any Halloween celebration..
