DIRECTIONS

1.Build the witch cauldron: CLICK HERE to print and cut out the witch cauldron template. Trace the cauldron onto wax paper, then cut it out.

2.Place the wax paper cauldron at the bottom of your serving tray. Use it as a guide to create the cauldron shape out of treats.

3.Start by outlining the cauldron with ROLO Candies all the way around, except for the top. Line up 4 KIT KAT Minis to create the top of the cauldron.

4.Next, cut brownies or sliced chocolate cake into small single-serving pieces. Use them to line the inside of the cauldron. Try to completely cover the wax paper so that the white of the paper doesn’t show through. Place 7 mini donuts on top.

5.Stack 2 more layers of ROLO Candies on top of the bottom row. Place 2 rows of 3 KIT KAT Minis each on top of the first layer to increase the height.

6.FILL IN THE SPACE AROUND THE CAULDRON: Fill the first bowl with pimento-stuffed green olives.

7.Fill the second bowl with REESE’S Miniatures White Creme Peanut Butter Cups garnished with Chocolate Googly Eyes. CLICK HERE for the Googly Eyes recipe. Gently press the eyes into the top of each cup.

8.Fill the third bowl with “Witch Fingers” made from green KIT KAT bars, chocolate frosting and sliced almonds (for the nails). Accent with black and white textured HERSHEY’S COOKIES ‘N’ CREME Fangs.
