With just a handful of items, you will be on your way to making an epic Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sisters inspired treat. Here is what you will need.
INDIVIDUAL GELATIN SNACK CUPS - in purple, yellow and orange to represent Winifred, Mary & Sarah Sanderson.
I found that the Snack Packs Fanta variety are perfect for this but you can use any brand you like.
WHIPPED TOPPING - will take these treats over the top both visually and taste-wise. We will use it to decorate the Hocus Pocus inspired witch "hair" on top of the gelatin similar to the design of the cupcakes found in Disney World.
WITCH GELATIN CUPS SUPPLIES
To get these made, you will need to be able to pip on the whipped topping. Here is what you will need to do this like I did.
ICING BAG AND TIP - will help us to pipe the witch hair inspired whipped topping.
BLACK WITCH BOWS
If you want to take your individual Halloween treats to the next level, add a cute little witchy bow. Here is what you need to make them and adhere them to the gelatin snacks.
This entire step is completely optional, but perfect for going the extra mile.
BLACK RIBBON - Using thin black ribbon is perfect for adding a little witchy touch to these little snack. ⅝ " Black Ribbon.
GLUE GUN/FAST DRYING GLUE - Use a glue gun to get make your small ribbon that will get placed onto each up.
ADHESIVE GLUE/GLUE DOTS - Using a non-toxic sticky tape option is perfect for getting your cute little bows to stay in place once you make them. Glue Dots 200 pack.
Alternately, you can use a black marker to draw a bow or corset onto the cups.
Another option is to purchase pre-made tiny bows to adhere onto the cups.
HOW TO MAKE HOCUS POCUS WITCH GELATIN CUPS
MAKE MINI BOWS
First, if you are making bows to add, make them now. Start by making tiny black bows using a simple hack with black ribbon and a glue gun.
Keep it simple by taking one strip of ribbon and making a loop. Glue the ends together. Press the loop down the center to flatten it and glue that spot together.
Then, glue two smaller snippets of ribbon behind the loop where the seam you glued together.
Finally, glue a small square of the ribbon to the front to complete the bow. Voila!
Use double sided tape of choice to stick a ribbon onto the front of each gelatin cup.
PREPARE GELATIN CUPS
Once the ribbons are set, it's time to peel the tops of of each gelatin. Set aside.
In three small bowls, divide your whipped topping and use one of each yellow, orange and purple food coloring to tint. Mix until blended.
Add one color at a time to a piping bag fitted with the open star tip.
To add a unique "hairstyle" inspired by each Sanderson Sister, I used Disney World Hocus Pocus cupcakes and the Hocus Pocus movie cover as inspiration.
Winifred Sanderson - Use orange gelatin and tinted whipped cream. In a circular motion, swirl the whipped topping around while tapering in as you go up. For a final touch, make a tiny swirl on both the top right and left of the initial whipped topping hump.
Mary Sanderson - Use purple gelatin and tinted whipped cream. This was a fun one. Start the same way you did for Winifred, but go taller and longer and pull to one side as you go to bring the whipped topping to a crooked point.
Sarah Sanderson - Use yellow gelatin and tinted whipped cream. This is the easiest design. We are starting the same way as the other two designs, but ending a whole lot sooner to make a much smaller heap of whipped topping.
Voila! You now have super cute and easy Hocus Pocus inspired treats for all of your Halloween and movie night celebrations.
