1 pkg (113 g) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 can (540 ml/19 oz) cherry pie filling (625 ml/2 1/2 cups)

Get daily National news
6 to 8 yogurt-coated almonds
10 chocolate sippers
Mini candy-coated chocolates (separate red and orange)
Cinnamon hearts
Small amount vanilla frosting (for optional eyeball)
Mini chocolate chips (for optional eyeball)
Prepare patty shells according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
Fill each patty shell cauldron with chocolate pudding prepared as per serving directions and cherry pie filling.
To make the cauldron handle, take a length of black licorice twist and insert each end into the cauldron. Insert a pretzel for the cauldron spoon.
Add your choice of ghoulish worms, brains or any other Halloween candy. For optional eyeballs, plop one or two coated almonds in the cauldron, affixing a mini chocolate chip with frosting.
For the base, cut chocolate sippers into short lengths to resemble logs and arrange on a platter or plate. Add some red and orange mini candy-coated chocolates and/or cinnamon hearts to mimic burning embers.
Place completed cauldrons on top of the fire and present the devilishly delicious brew to your young Halloween guests.
Makes 6 servings.
