Meaghan made these Creepy Crawly Dirt Cup Pudding Parfaits for the #HalloweenTreatsWeek event I hosted last year over on BigBearsWife.com and I love how they turned out.

So easy to make but super tasty and fun to eat!

Oh speaking of fun, have you seen those DIY tricks for making your own gummy worms? How neat would those be in these Pudding Parfaits!

Of course store bought gummy worms are 100% fine (hello dollar store haha) but if you want to try to make them at home I’ve seen a few tutorials that might be neat to try to tackle! This Method uses Jello and Straws: https://youtu.be/ZNEiHXkYu3E <– That’s pretty neat!

These Dirt Cups would look great next to a few Strawberry Ghost Dark Chocolate Cupcakes and Monster Cookies!

This recipe is originally from the Dixie Crystal’s My First Cookbook and Meaghan says that she loves it because it’s super easy recipe that she could make with her kids!

I bet most kids would get a kick out of making and eating “worms and dirt” haha I know my son would!

Meaghan says,

Get festive with a quick & easy dessert the whole family will love. These Creepy Crawly Dirt Cup Pudding Parfaits feature alternating layers of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies & rich chocolate pudding. Topped with gummy earth worms, they’re the best way to get into the theme of things!

A classic southern dessert is turned into a wickedly wonderful Halloween treat with this easy Melting Witch Poke Cake!

“This post/recipe originally appeared on my main blog BigBearsWife.com for #HalloweenTreatsWeek”

It’s kind of appropriate that we’re watching Hocus Pocus while I work on this post for this Melting Witch Cake. Well, not that any of the witches in Hocus Pocus melt but it’s a witch movie and this is a witch dessert.

As always we’re in full Halloween mode! Today I’m sharing this fun Melting Witch Poke cake because Y’all know I love my Melting Witch Desserts!!

This cake goes perfectly with my Melting Witch Hot Chocolate and Melting Witch Brownies! I’m thinking that we need to have a Melting Witch party one night featuring all types of Melting Witch treats and watch Halloween movies!

That sounds perfect to me!

OK, y’all see those cute witch hats that are on top of this poke cake? They’re so easy to make. I’ve got a post here about how to make them. I’ve used them for all of my melting witch desserts.

Then this cake, well it couldn’t be easier.

You can use the chocolate cake recipe that I have below or you can use a box cake mix! Either will work for this cake.

Oh and that easy Melting Witch topping on the cake? It’s just whipped topping with some green food coloring!

Melting Witch Hot Chocolate

A fun twist on a white chocolate favorite has turned a regular mug of How Chocolate into Melting Witch Hot Chocolate! This is exactly what you need to be sipping on while you decorate the house for Halloween!

“This post/recipe originally appeared on my main blog BigBearsWife.com”

I can’t believe that I waited so long to share this Melting Witch Hot Chocolate recipe with y’all!

This Halloween recipe is one of the very first ones I made this season! For some reason, it’s just been pushed back to the corner! How rude of me.

This Melting Witch Hot Chocolate would be just perfect served alongside these Melting Witch Brownies!

They’re my little nod to the melting witch from The Wizard of Oz!

While the Wizard of Oz isn’t really a Halloween movie, I like to toss the melting witch into my Halloween recipes and post because you know……she’s a witch.

Witches and Halloween do go hand in hand you know.

So you know how people like to drink hot chocolate while they’re decorating for Christmas with Christmas carols playing in the background?

Well, that’s kind of how I am when it comes to Halloween. haha.

I pull all of my Halloween decorations out and set up Bluetooth speakers for music while I decorate.

I play Halloween music and the soundtrack to “The Nightmare Before Christmas” while I’m decorating the house. haha

Is it bad that I put up the decorations this year already?

Not only did I put them up early but I put them up and then thought, “This isn’t Halloweeny enough, I need more stuff”…..yeah the apartment is COVERED in Halloween stuff already.

I don’t think I really need more. lol

But anyways, now I have a sweet little Halloween hot chocolate to sip on while I decorate!

I think this would get everyone into the Halloween spirit!

Happy Haunting! Check out all of the spooky Halloween recipes and crafts on BigBearsWife.com!!
