Chocolate Halloween Madeleine Cookies

 

It's Halloween season and time for all that is spooky!  Making good use of my madeleine pan again by making some chocolate madeleines in Halloween costumes.

Ghosts, Black Cats, Jack O' Lanterns, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula. and the Mummy

Bake up you fav madeliene cookie recipe

And whip up some royal icing tinted black, orange, green, purple 

Then decorate.  These are pretty simple and you don't need a ton of piping skills either.

These madeleine cookies are ready to go trick or treating!

Colorful Halloween Meringue Ghosts

I love this time of year, not only is it monster season, but it's also ghost season!  Make some colorful little ghost meringues this year.  Meringues are pretty simple to make with just a few ingredients needed and these ghosts really don't need any major piping skills.  

Although in all transparency, my kids saw these cooling and thought I made colorful poo emojis! I can see their point, however I'm going with ghosts :)

...adding some to the day's festivities....! .....did a freaky cupcake for the holiday already, so went with some more traditional ones for the actual day.......

spider and candy corn cupcakes....!

....and some mini ghosts for the little's halloween school party.......these are really just chocolate minis with vanilla buttercream piped into a swirl with chocolate chips for eyes....not sure if they look like ghosts or monsters, but either way i guess they work for halloween....!

......the spiders were fun to make and are a modified boxed chocolate cake (add an extra egg and 1 cup of buttermilk in place of the liquid) to save some time....frosted with "grey" icing (which i had originally intended on making lavender for another project, but remember when in school they told you red and blue make purple....?....well for me it made a lovely shade of grey when using the food coloring gels....go figure.....dipped in black non-pareils......

.....with these for the "eyes".......

....and these for the "legs"......

....the candy corn cupcakes....are not candy corn flavored....since we do not have candy corn fans around here......so to use up some of the tons of apples around lately and the apple cider recently purchased while pumpkin pickin.....these are apple cider cupcakes with vanilla buttercream...white, and tinted yellow and orange....the cake is pretty yummy especially with the fresh grated nutmeg....it's a dense and moist cake.......

.....hope everyone has a really fun and spooky halloween.....!
