Our Favorite DIY Halloween Recipes

It’s the spookiest time of the year, and for many, the most wonderful, fun time of the year! Halloween is upon us, and whether you’re staying in and watching scary movies or hosting a grand Halloween monster mash, you’ll want to add these scary-good recipes to your menu.

Dark Chocolate Halloween Cupcakes With Gold Dust Recipe

Instead of going the traditional orange-pumpkiny route, take things over to the dark side with our Dark Chocolate Halloween Cupcakes recipe. These totally Instragram-worthy black cupcakes are gilded with gold dust for that extra touch of magical glamour that we just love. But you can easily make these more kid-friendly with orange sprinkles.

French Black Macarons with White Chocolate Orange Ganache Recipe

We are fans of the gothic trend, if you couldn’t tell! So we went all out and developed this recipe for dark-as-night French macarons. If the thought of making macarons at home is more scary than a haunted house, take a deep breath and repeat after us: – yes, you can! Think of them as cookies, but way more elegant and sophisticated. We filled them with a rich white chocolate ganache tinted with orange food coloring.
