Bubbling Key Lime Mousse Cauldrons

Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! I couldn’t let Halloween slip by without sharing this Halloween dessert with you. Earlier this month I shared this spooktacular recipe with my friends at Eighteen25 for their Spooktacular September series. I think you are going to love these Bubbling Key Lime Mousse Cauldrons.

These light and refreshing treats are fun and simple to make so you can whip them up for your Halloween in no time. My kids loved digging in to these cauldrons filled with key lime mousse and topped with creepy crawly sprinkles! I think one of the best parts of Halloween is all of the creepy, spooky, silly ways you can play with your food. I love how adding just a few candy eye balls, bone sprinkles and green nonpareils turn a fairly simple dessert into something extra special.

Every year before we head out trick-or-treating we have a themed Halloween dinner and dessert. When I give my kids a fun dessert like this they aren’t tempted to dig into their trick-or-treat bag and snack on candy before we have a chance to look through it.

These bubbling key lime mousse cauldrons are a great way to turn an ordinary Halloween celebration into an extraordinary one! So lace up your boots, grab your broom and make some magic this Halloween!
