If you’re hosting a party this spooky season, these deliciously eerie Halloween desserts will make a showstopping addition to any ghoulish-themed table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with monstrous madeleines topped with glossy Deco melts and sugary edible eyes, followed by skeleton-shaped cakelets from Nordic Ware drizzled with white icing for bones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For stand-out centrepieces try out whipping up a cosy, autumnal pumpkin tiramisu in a hollowed-out pumpkin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or a decadent chocolate tart adorned with cute spider webs and chocolate spiders. Adorable marshmallow meringue ghosts are a perennial crowd-pleaser.<\/p>

When it comes to Halloween, Hobbycraft is a one-stop shop for costumes, spooky decor<\/a> and Halloween desserts. These cute madeleines are the perfect treat for any Halloween party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To decorate the tiny sponges, Deco melts<\/a> can be quickly melted in the microwave and spooned into a cleaned madeleine mould. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop the madeleines on top and leave the Deco melts to set hard before removing and they’ll have a lovely, glossy iced finish.<\/p>

Pumpkin tiramisu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is there a more festive way to serve your ghoulish Halloween dessert than in a hollowed-out pumpkin? Especially if it’s a pumpkin tiramisu? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This twist on the classic dessert swaps the usual coffee and cocoa notes and blends the rich, creamy mascarpone mixture with a sweet pumpkin puree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infused with warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice (typically found in a pumpkin pie), give this pumpkin tiramisu a distinctly autumnal taste. Try Poetry & Pies<\/a> version. <\/p>

Alternatively, Souffle Bombay<\/a> has a brilliant recipe for a riff on a pumpkin pie to put in a hollowed-out pumpkin, which works well when serving mini pumpkins as individual desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate spider tart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A chocolate spider tart will be a crowd-pleaser at any Halloween bash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling it the “ultimate decadent dessert”, Jamie Oliver’s Simple Chocolate Tart<\/a> recipe, with its thick, pastry base is the perfect tart to create your spider web on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scran Line<\/a> puts a white chocolate ganache layer on his chocolate tart, so the spider web stands out well. <\/p>

After it’s chilled, work quickly to pipe a chocolate spider web on top of the white ganache. Then for the really fun part, making the chocolate spiders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scran Line pipes a body and legs onto a lined baking tray with melted chocolate and puts a chocolate almond on top, for the body. A chocolate Malteser would work just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
