Trick AND Treat! Yes, this cauldron is tricky, because it’s also a treat. Believe it or not, it’s 100 percent cookie and icing, with the added surprise of having Halloween candy inside. Bake and decorate the cauldrons from start to finish for special Halloween party favors. Or simply make the pieces in advance and let your guests build their own personalized cauldrons on the spot.
This video is also part of a special Halloween treats collaboration with several of my YouTube friends. For more of those videos, click here: tinyurl.com/oy6zojd
