Halloween is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to whip up some eerie and delicious treats to celebrate the spookiest night of the year! Whether you’re planning a ghoulish gathering or simply want to indulge in some festive baking, we’ve got you covered with a collection of frighteningly fun and delectable Halloween-themed recipes.
Leftover Candy Compost Cookies & Bars – Consider these Leftover Candy Compost Cookies & Bars the sweet answer to your Halloween candy surplus conundrum. This recipe is endlessly customizable; it can be made into cookies or bars and can feature whatever candy you love best. No matter what you choose, you win.
Flourless Black Cocoa Cake – As pure an incarnation of chocolate cake as you can get. Done up with a white chocolate and coconut ganache drizzle, this one-layer cake is simple enough for a weeknight baking project. For a fun Halloween twist, create a spider web design on the cake before slicing.
Black Forest Pavlova – After baking, the shell of our Black Forest Pavlova, with its crispy exterior and chewy marshmallow-like interior, receives a silky Chocolate Pastry Cream that is ultimately scattered with juicy cherries and dolloped with pillows of Whipped Cream.
Black Cocoa Cookies and Cream Cake – Cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie fans, this Black Cocoa Cookies and Cream Cake is for you! Rich black cocoa mixes with espresso powder for a delightful chocolate kick, and a creamy cookie-filled frosting sweetly finishes it. To make this a festive Halloween favorite, don’t fold the cookies into the whipped frosting. Instead, sprinkle the cookies on top to make a “ground” and top with your favorite pumpkin candies.
Orange-Chocolate Brownie Cookies – Zesty orange and bittersweet chocolate may seem like an odd couple, but just like in the classic film, each makes its counterpart even better. Acidity from the Candied Orange Peel cuts perfectly through the rich decadence of the chocolate and enhances the bittersweet notes in this delectably fudgy, faultlessly chewy cookie. These cookies are easy to make into a Halloween party favorite. Just add candy eyes and create a scary or silly face with the Candied Orange Peel!
