Chow down on the cheddar cheese “Foolish Mortal” Popcorn with spicy cheese puffs or cool off with the Doom Buggy Sundae: a cream-filled sponge cake encased in funnel batter dusted with chocolate “graveyard grounds” and topped with white chocolate raspberry ice cream, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream.
