Halloween brings out the kid in everyone. Many of us will dress up in imaginative costumes, set out for bags of treats (or wish that we could), and attend at least one Halloween party. Others will deck out the hours with bats and cobwebs, and play scary music, or even host haunted houses themselves. Trick or treating was always fun, but it was the reward of seemingly endless chocolate afterwards that I really looked forward to. I am obviously too old for trick or treating now, but I still like having chocolate in unlimited quantities whenever possible. Mmmm…
If you’re going to throw a Halloween party this year, or would just like to feel like you’ve been trick or treating, make some grown up treats and dress up in creative costumes. I can’t make very many costume suggestions, but I can offer a variety of sweet recipes. Our website has quite a few to offer.
For a centerpiece dessert, try the Black Midnight Cake. You can surround it with Chocolate truffles and chocolate chip cookies. For more chocolate decadence, try the devilish Controne Chocolate Soufflé, creamy Dark Chocolate Pudding, or surprising Dark Chocolate Brownies with Hazelnut Salt.
For non-chocolate treats, whip up a batch of Ginger Cookies, an almond cake, a fall fruit betty, pumpkin creme brulee, or a luscious lemon cake. Because you’ll need something to balance this all out, make a simple soup or pasta ahead of time, so that you can focus on setting up for the fabulous finale. But keep it light- you want to have ample room for the sweet spread to come.
Happy Halloween!
