HOW TO MAKE WITCHES BREW RECIPE:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
CAN I USE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS INSTEAD?
Yes! If you’re in a pinch, white chocolate chips work just fine as a substitute for the white chocolate baking bar or white chocolate powder.
The white chocolate powder is just quicker and easier to dissolve as you’re making the drink and gives a richer flavoer. But, you can add more white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips in it’s place.
WHAT ARE THE BEST FOOD COLORINGS TO USE?
Gel food coloring is your best bet. It’s a lot more concentrated than your standard food coloring.
This makes it great for achieving that hauntingly green color fun for the whole family. Find it on Amazon or at your local Walmart!
WHAT ARE THE BEST TOPPINGS TO ADD?
Oh, where do I start? Marshmallows, whipped cream, and Halloween sprinkles are just the tip of the iceberg.
Gummy worms and plastic eyeballs can add a spooky effect – always a big hit!
CAN I SERVE THIS AT A PARTY?
You bet! Keep it on the slow cooker’s warm setting for up to 3 hours.
If you’re serving it in a large punch bowl, some blocks of dry ice on the side can give it a delightful, foggy appearance.
Halloween drinks are so fun!
ANY ADDITIONS?
Yeah, check this list out.
- Black sugar to rim the serving glass

- Nutritional Information: Always check the nutrition info if you’re substituting ingredients.
- Fun Kid Serving Ideas: Use fancy glasses or add a sterilized rubber hand at the bottom of the cauldron for extra creepiness.

- Be sure to stir every so often if you can to ensure even melting.
