It's simple and sweet, a Halloween treat: Witches' Brew!
Combining apple cider drink mix, Halloween candy treats and a free printable gift tag, Witches Brew is easy to make and give.
Use small black salsa bowls from the Dollar Store to make Witches Brew in a Cauldron, or use creative packet-folding and a licorice rope "broomstick" to make broom-shaped Witches Brew packets.
Add free printable gift tags or bag toppers to make an easy Halloween craft.
Add Witches Brew to Halloween BOO baskets, share with co-workers or make it in multiples for Halloween party favors.

Witches' Brew Poem
by Cynthia Ewer
When Autumn leaves begin to fly,
A Harvest Moon shines full and high.
Cold wind chills you to the bone?
Do what spooks have always known!
Grab a cauldron (or a cup!)
Add mix and water, stir it up.
Garnish with a worm or two:
A warming cup of Witches' Brew!
