This pumpkin spice hot chocolate is the perfect witches brew to sip on while you watch.

Scroll down for my pumpkin spice hot chocolate recipe, more ideas for a Hocus Pocus party and 13 of my favorite fall movies.

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

Homemade hot chocolate with pumpkin and spices makes it velvety and perfect for fall. Put all ingredients in the crockpot and it’s ready in an hour!

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream or half and half
2 cups milk
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pumpkin puree (make sure it’s puree, not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin spice extract or 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice (I like the extract because you can add it to other beverages)

Directions:

Combine all of your ingredients in the crockpot and whisk together.

Cook on high for 1 hour, stirring occasionally then place on keep warm.

Add some Rumchata, whiskey, bourbon or Fireball to really spice it up 🙂

Serve in these little cauldrons for a festive Hocus Pocus watch party or Halloween party. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Or add one of these Halloween peep marshmallows.

Halloween Finds

Halloween has got to be one of my favorite times of the year. I was never super into it as a kid but now I love adding some spooky things around the house and making some tricks or treats for the kids. Here are some of my favorite Halloween finds this year! Scroll down to see them all. And as always, click the links to shop.

Halloween Finds

Bats – these have been a favorite and top seller for the past 3 years.

Witch Hats – This is another decor idea I love! Deck out your house or the front porch with these hanging witch hats. I love how my friend Karin decorated her front porch with these so check out her post if you need inspiration.

Floating candles – I am obsessed with these and may have to get these to decorate the hallway or our dining room!

Hocus Pocus coffee – I just bought this. Now I can sip my coffee and say “Oh look what a glorious morning!”

Hocus Pocus game – and who knew there was a Hocus Pocus game? This just got delivered to my house so I have yet to play but seems like fun!

Googly eye sprinkles – these are a must have for all of your Halloween baking. Check out my Halloween yogurt bark or these leftover Halloween candy cookie bars.

Skeleton wine glasses – because drinking wine or your witch’s brew out of this glass would just taste so much better!

Spiders – last year I got a bunch of these spiders and put them in our soap bottles. The kids loved it! Click here to see it! And now my skin feels like it’s crawling.

I’ve got tons of cute Halloween pajamas all linked here!

And this is a fun idea for your friends and neighbors!

Halloween Yogurt Bark

This post contains affiliate links

This Halloween yogurt bark is such a fun and festive treat! Yogurt with some pumpkin swirled in and covered with googly eye sprinkles, yogurt covered pretzels and M&Ms. If you want to be a little more healthy, top with fruits and sneak in some veggies. Because honestly I could add the googly eye sprinkles on anything and the boys will eat it!

Scroll below for my Halloween Yogurt Bark recipe! And I’m sharing more fun Halloween ideas on the bottom!

Halloween Yogurt Bark

Ingredients:

4 cups yogurt (you can use any kind or flavor, I used vanilla)
1 cup of pumpkin puree
Googly eye sprinkles (linking them here!)
M&Ms
Yogurt covered pretzels

Directions:

Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper.
Add the yogurt to the covered baking sheet in and spread out evenly.
Scoop the pumpkin puree in small dollops on top of the yogurt and swirl with a butter knife for a marble effect.
Top with your toppings.
Freeze for at least 4 hours but overnight is even better!
Break into pieces and serve (if not eating right away freeze as it melts). Freeze the leftovers in a container.

I love to see what you create so if you make these, be sure to take a photo and tag me on Instagram @ourtiny_nest!
