Decorate with a Witch Theme

Go all out with the Halloween decorations for your hocus pocus party this year! You can use my adorable printable Witch Frog Templates to create a cute witch-themed banner your guests will love.

Then, repurpose old glass bottles and jars for your “potions.” You can paint the jars or fill them with spooky goodies. Finally, make your own creepy Halloween labels for the perfect touch.

Hang floating witch hats with a fishing line from the ceiling for an eerie hocus pocus effect that will give your guests goosebumps! For an added touch, you can add battery-powered lights to make some really fun Halloween witch-themed luminaries.

Play Hocus Pocus Bingo

While you enjoy the film, and these delicious hocus pocus brownies too, have fun with a movie-themed game of bingo. You can get your own Hocus Pocus Bingo Cards from Bar Napkin Games available on Etsy. Be sure to think of some fun prizes for the winners! 

Sing “I Put a Spell on You” Karaoke Style

John Debney’s I Put a Spell on You together with your friends and family at the end of the film. You can sing right along with Bette Midler or have everyone join together to sing this classic karaoke-style after the film. The kids will have a blast with this one!

Step by Step Brownie Instructions

Once you’ve gathered everything you’ll need to make the perfect hocus pocus brownies, follow these easy instructions to create an extra special Halloween dessert your whole family will love!

Fondant Brew Stick Instructions

1. Dust your hands and a cutting board with powdered sugar before working with the fondant.
2. Remove the fondant from the package and work with your hands to make it soft and pliable.
3. Pinch off about 1 teaspoon of the fondant. Using your middle finger and pointer finger, roll the dough in an up and down motion to create a stick shape.
4. Set aside on the cookie sheet. Create a total of 24 fondant brew sticks. Allow them to dry overnight.

Witches Brew Brownie Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray the baking dish with Pam baking spray.
2. Using a hand mixer, beat all brownie ingredients together until combined.
3. Then, pour the batter into the 9×13 baking dish and bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool completely.
4. Place the cauldrons on a cookie sheet. Then, using a knife (or your hands), cut the brownies into bite-sized pieces.
5. Stuff the brownie pieces into the cauldrons. Set aside and begin frosting preparations.

Vanilla Frosting Preparations

1. Using a stand mixer or large bowl and hand mixer, beat together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream until smooth, stiff peaks form.
2. Scoop out ½ of the frosting and add a few drops of purple gel food coloring. Add a few drops of neon green gel food coloring to the frosting remaining in the mixing bowl.
3. After frosting is dyed, scoop ½ of the green frosting into one side of the large piping bag.
4. Then, scoop ½ of the purple frosting into the other side of the large piping bag. 

How To Decorate Hocus Pocus Brownies

1. Using the piping bag with the two frosting colors, pipe the frosting into the middle of the cauldron. 
2. Then, sprinkle a few of each type of sprinkles around on the frosting. 
3. Next, place the fondant stick into the side of the frosting.
4. Finally, enjoy your delicious hocus pocus Halloween treat!
