Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and place liners in 24 cupcake tins.
- Combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs in a medium mixing bowl and stir until well blended.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely, then remove the liners.
- Gently push a cupcake into each cauldron, pushing down enough so that there is room for the pudding on top of the cupcake.
- Whisk the pudding mix and milk together in a medium bowl until fully incorporated, then add a few drops of neon green food coloring, adding a drop or two at a time to achieve desired color, and whisk until color is uniform throughout pudding.
- Add the green pudding on top of the cupcake in each cauldron, don't overfill.
- **Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Melt the butter in a large pot, then add marshmallows and stir continuously until marshmallows are completely melted.
- Stir a few drops of green food coloring into the melted marshmallows and mix well. The color will get a little lighter when the Rice Krispies are added so make sure the green is fairly dark.
- Add the Rice Krispies to the marshmallows and stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Immediately put a spoonful of Rice Krispy mixture on top of the pudding in each cauldron. Do this before the marshmallows start to cool or it will be difficult to put them on the pudding.
- While Rice Krispies are still warm, top with Halloween sprinkles.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. If you know you aren’t going to eat these immediately, I recommend making the cupcakes and pudding and chilling until you’re almost ready to serve. Then make and add the rice krispies on top right before serving.
- Clean out the mini cauldrons as soon as possible after to make them easy to clean. They’re easy to clean as long as you do it quickly and then you can reuse the cauldrons for all sorts of things like a bunch of these Halloween games!
- Add a pretzel stick to the cupcakes if you want to give it that look of a spoon stirring the pot.
- Change up the colors and try out orange, purple, or even a spooky black potion would be great. If you’re really ambitious, you could do a variety of colors. I just recommend keeping the pudding and rice krispies on top the same color for each cauldron so it looks like one potion bubbling over.
- Use a piece of parchment paper to grab the rice krispy treats and move them if they’re sticking to your hands. You can also spray them if that’s easier.
