Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite movies. I think I’ve seen that movie about a thousand times.

My kids on the other hand, have only seen it a few times. But after the first time they saw it, they wanted to make this super fun Hocus Pocus Slime.

Yes! Instead of using the oven, you can use your Instant Pot and use the saute function until your milk gets hot enough. Then add the remaining ingredients and make the same way.
