Hocus pocus is one of my favorite movies to watch during Halloween and I can’t wait to try making these cupcakes for our viewing snacks this year.
I would love to try and make these, they look so yummy!
I still watch Hocus Pocus every Halloween. So, these cupcakes would be great while watching the movie.
That’s a really creative idea. 🙂
