Disney Parks Are Already Counting Down to Halloween with Events and Treats (Including Hocus Pocus Cauldron Bombs)

If you happen to be in Disney World this week, you can score everything from pumpkin pie milkshakes to a chocolate chip cookie-pie hybrid at select locations within the park. Our favorite is hands-down the Hocus Pocus-inspired Cauldron Cocoa Bomb, available at The Ganachery at Disney Springs. The dark chocolate cauldron is filled with hot cocoa mix and eerie green marshmallows, plus comes complete with an edible image of the Sanderson Sisters and a chocolate broom stirrer—all that’s missing is a mug of hot milk.

If you’re like us and celebrating from afar, the Disney Parks Blog just released a few wickedly tasty recipes from the soon-to-be-launched Disney Villains: Devilishly Delicious Cookbook that you can make at home. Whip up an Underworld Smoothie, a blue-and-red mix of frozen fruit, ice and Greek yogurt that’s inspired by Hades’s calm and angry moods, or serve Deviled Dragon Eggs at your next fall party, a six-ingredient appetizer that’s bound to impress. (The eggs’ crystalline blue-purple appearance is all thanks to red cabbage.) You can also whip up other fall classics that are served at the parks, like Jolly Holiday Bakery Café’s Pumpkin Muffins or Epcot’s Apple Crumble Tarts.

Do the monster mash at Magic Kingdom Park on select nights from August 10 through Halloween. The three-hour event kicks off after the park closes with lots of music, decorations, costumes, characters, live performances and, most importantly, candy.

Whether or not you plan on visiting this year, you can still celebrate early with tons of spooky merch and just-released products. Think nuiMO plush characters dressed to the ghostly nines, Disney Villains streetwear, Haunted Mansion purses and headbands, Nightmare Before Christmas accessories, chapter books and more. Most of the products will be released online on a rolling basis from June through August (though there are a handful available on Amazon right this second…).
