To celebrate Halloween and Hocus Pocus 2, I made these fun brownies that look just like Winifred Sanders’s spell book. I had to round it off with some of my favorite witch stories.
For these spell book brownies, I made my favorite brownie recipe and then copied this picture from Mike Bakes NYC. I piped ganache for the little details. For the eyes, I cut circles out of white fondant with piping tips and then painted the eyeballs with black gel food coloring and my food paint brushes.
And, of course, I added a smidge of glam with by brushing on some edible gold paint.
While Hocus Pocus 2 was disappointing, these books could never disappoint!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. I love Hermione Granger and her insistence in The Prisoner of Azkaban to take every possible class available to her and then some is so on character for her.
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. An old classic and Newberry award winner. A young woman living in 18th Century America befriends the “witch” in the woods.
Macbeth is my favorite Shakespeare play. And the creepy witches are fantastic.
Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake. A dark YA fantasy of three sisters fighting for a throne.
What are your favorite witch books?
