With a moist chocolate cake and simple glaze, these mini skull cakes are super spooky for any Halloween celebration.

Mini Chocolate Skull Cakes

unsalted butter (3 sticks)

cocoa powder

water

all-purpose flour

sugar

baking soda

eggs

sour cream

vanilla extract

confectioners' sugar

milk

vanilla extract*

Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Spray skull cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and flour well. Set aside.

In a small sauce pan, whisk the butter, cocoa powder, salt, and water over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda. Slowly add the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture while whisking. When batter is too thick, switch to a spoon. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Fill skull cavities about 90% full (cake won&#039;t rise a huge amount). Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a skull comes out clean. Let skulls cool completely (about an hour) before glazing.

For the glaze, whisk together confectioner&#039;s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Generously brush glaze on cooled cakes and do a second or even third coat until the skulls are well coated (some of the glaze will be absorbed by the cake). Enjoy!

A meringue-topped chocolate ganache tartlet is the perfect sweet and spooky Halloween dessert.

Meringue Ghost Tartlets

graham cracker planks (1 packet)

tbsp. butter

bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

To make Graham Cracker Crust: Crush graham crackers into pieces. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor; add sugar. Process until crackers form a very fine crumb. Add butter, and pulse to combine.

Pack graham cracker mixture into 8 (2 1/2-inch) mini tart pans; transfer to a baking sheet, and bake 20 minutes or until the edges of the tartlets darken slightly. Let cool.

To make Chocolate Ganache: Heat cream in a small saucepan over low heat until barely simmering. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and whisk well until very smooth. Spoon into graham crusts.

To make Meringue Ghosts: Heat 3 inches of water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Place sugar and egg whites in a heat-proof bowl. Place bowl over the water and whisk to combine the sugar and egg whites. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot to the touch. (Rub a bit between your fingers. If it feels gritty, the sugar has not dissolved.)

Remove bowl from the stove and beat egg white mixture with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer until shiny stiff peaks form. Transfer meringue to a plastic pastry bag, snip the end to about 1 1/2 inches wide, and pipe 4-inch-tall ghost shapes onto the ganache.

Use a small paint brush dipped in cocoa to form the eyes and mouth. Serve immediately.

Over 25 best Halloween desserts that are spooky and creepy (witch, ghosts, and creepy crawly things) including cookies, chocolate, cake, muffins, and more. One of my favorites is this Halloween Bark.

25 Best Halloween Desserts

ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chips

ounces white chocolate, chips

½ cup Halloween m&m’s

½ cup candy corn

eyes

Halloween sprinkles

Line a large half sheet baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. 

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate either on the stove or in the microwave:

On the stove: Bring 2 inches of water to a low simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Then turn the heat to low and place a large heatproof bowl of chocolate chips on the mouth of the pot. Make sure that there is a gap of a few inches in between the bottom of the bowl and the water (You can also place a bowl on a steamer attachment on top of your pot). Stir the chocolate constantly as it melts. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. This should take a few minutes.

In the microwave: The second way to melt chocolate (and an easier way) is in the microwave. Place the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals. Remove the bowl at each interval and stir well. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted. Stir until completely smooth

Melt the white chocolate by repeating the above process.

Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate in a thin layer onto the prepared baking sheet, forming an approximate 9x12-inch rectangle, about ⅓-inch thick. Dollop the melted white chocolate on top. Use a toothpick to swirl the semi-sweet and white chocolates together.

Immediately arrange the m&amp;m’s, candy corn, and candy eyes onto the swirled chocolate, pressing them lightly into the chocolate, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining gaps in the surface with sprinkles.

Transfer the pan to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set, about 45 minutes. Transfer the parchment paper to a cutting board and cut the bark into pieces. Serve immediately.
