Tips to Make Any of These Harry Potter Desserts
- Follow the directions exactly. Just kidding, you can modify any of these recipes to suit your needs. Don’t like chocolate? Make the chocolate cake out of vanilla cake and just color it brown. Someone in the family allergic to dairy? Use a dairy-free butterscotch chip to replace the butterscotch sauce in any of these recipes.
- Get crazy with the butterbeer. It’s fun, the kids think its funny and it genuinely tastes amazing. I have never had something exactly like it and it’s good enough that everyone will at least try it.
- Check out the extras you can buy to make things a bit easier (those cake toppers are going to save you so much time).
