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

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!
