DIY: Hocus Pocus Movie Night Basket

I love a good theme, especially when it involves a movie. Disney Plus released Hocus Pocus 2 on Friday, and in honor of the movie I had a little watch party in my backyard. No movie night is complete without snacks. Of course there was popcorn, but these little baskets stole the show. I filled them with movie snacks that truly fit with the Hocus Pocus theme perfectly.

What was in the Hocus Pocus Movie Night Basket?

Spider Webs: white cotton candy
Snakes: snake gummies
I smell children: sour patch kids zombies
Finger of a man named Clark: Clark Bar

Theme cookie: Each basket had a different cookie

Hocus Pocus Dessert Board


Oh, look another glorious dessert board—makes me sick! As a huge fan of Hocus Pocus, you know I couldn’t miss the opportunity to make a fun Hocus Pocus themed dessert board to go with my backyard watch party.
