Who’s ecstatic about the new Hocus Pocus movie?
ME!
If you’ve been following the blog for a while you know I love a good theme. Last year I did Beetle Juice a Night for the Living Dinner Party which was a haunting good time!
This year, in celebration of the new movie premiering September 30th I chose a Hocus Pocus party.
It may not be a circle of salt, but these batches of tasty treats will certainly protect you from zombies, witches, old boyfriends, and guests screaming for the exit.
