Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble! I couldn’t let Halloween slip by without sharing this fun Halloween dessert with you.  These light and refreshing Bubbling Key Lime Mousse Cauldron treats are fun and simple to make so you can whip them up for your Halloween celebrations in no time.

I originally 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.  

My kids loved digging into 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 eyeballs, 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!
