Decadent little nibbles of chocolate cake covered in rich chocolate glaze.

Blackout Mini Cake Recipe

all-purpose Gold Medal Flour

cocoa powder

sugar

instant coffee granules

baking powder

baking soda

salt

water

vegetable oil

unsalted butter

vanilla

colored candy melts (any color,

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the cakes. Then whisk in the water and oil until smooth. Spoon the batter into 24 muffins tins, filling only 2/3 full.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 3-5 minutes in the pans, then flip them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze. Place the butter, water, and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for 1-2 minutes until warm, them whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth. Allow the glaze to cool a little before dipping. Carefully dip the top of each mini cake into the glaze, then place back on the wire rack to set. If the cakes are so tender they start to crumble when you dip them, hold them sideways and spoon the glaze over the tops.

Once the glaze has hardened, place the candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, usually 60-90 seconds total. Spoon the melted candy melts into a piping bag with a small tip, or a squirt bottle (or a plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe lines over the top of each mini cake. Allow the candy melt lines to harden before moving. Store in an air-tight container until ready to serve.

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.

Halloween bark is an easy, two-ingredient chocolate bark treat made from dark and white melted chocolate. Includes both stove top and microwave directions.

Halloween Bark

chocolate

Line a 7x11 baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.

In a double boiler: melt the dark chocolate over medium-low heat stirring constantly. Remove from the heat once the chocolate is silky smooth. - OR - In the microwave: microwave on high for 15 - 30 second bursts, stirring between bursts, until silky smooth. Repeat with the white chocolate.

Once the dark chocolate is melted, pour it into the prepared pan. Spread it out to cover the bottom, making the top as smooth as possible.

Load the melted white chocolate into a piping bag. Cut off the very tip of the bag to create an opening just large enough to squeeze out the white chocolate.

Starting with a white center dot, make concentric circles randomly over the dark chocolate. Circle 3 - 4 layers deep work well. Create both big and small circle sets and take them all the way to the edges.

Use a toothpick to lightly feather the white chocolate through the dark chocolate. Start in the solid center and gently drag the toothpick out to the edge

Go around the circles pulling them out to make web designs, there is no wrong way to do the webs, just have fun with it.

Once you get it how you like it gently press the spider rings into the webs wherever you like.

Allow to cool completely to set.

To serve, cut with a sharp knife. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Hooting Halloween owls

golden caster sugar

self-raising flour

eggs

icing sugar

tube orange ready-to-use icing

Maltesers

tub jelly diamonds (just the orange ones)

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with brown muffin cases. Beat the first 5 ingredients to a smooth batter and spoon between the cases, almost filling them to the top. You may have a little left over. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and spongy. Cool on a rack.

Beat the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Slice off the very tops of the cakes and cut each piece in half. Spread a generous layer of icing over each cake.

Working on one cake at a time, squirt a pea-sized blob of orange icing onto two Maltesers and use to fix a brown M&M on each. Sit the eyes, two pieces of cake top (curved edge up) and a jelly diamond on the icing to make an owl.

These adorable ghost pops make the perfect healthy Halloween treat for kids and adults. And they can be made in under one minute!
