As the Sanderson Sisters return to the screen with Hocus Pocus 2 set to air on Disney+, many people are ready to celebrate the witches running amuck once again. Although the threesome might have some particular tastes on screen, many fans are ready to whip up some Hocus Pocus 2 inspired recipes for the occasion. Which special treat will emerge from your cauldron?

Recently, Hocus Pocus 2 has inspired some tasty treats. From a special limited-edition cereal from Kellogg’s to a delightful brew from Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea company, the sisters have lent their likeness to many food items.

For those home cooks who are looking for a little more culinary creativity, there are several Hocus Pocus 2 inspired recipes that have been shared by various companies. From a little finger food to a refreshing beverage, the watching party will be well stocked.

Since all the spooky plot twists and turns can get viewers famished, Ross Matthews created the “Rosspies” Sand Witch, which is perfect for the event. The open-faced chicken sandwich hits all the flavor components. Spicy, sweet, and even a little cheesy, it is totally satisfying without anyone feeling like they have to conjure up too many minutes on the treadmill.

Plus, this Sand Witch has roasted pumpkin seeds. In addition to bringing the fall flavor, it adds a nice texture to the dish. Sometimes, the little elements make a big flavor difference.

Since a great dish needs a perfect pairing, Fresca has two beverages that will keep the bubbly good times going. From a flavorful elixir to an enchanting floral sipper, both options will quench the thirst for the Sanderson Sister’s triumphant return.
