What have I used?
Approx. 300g Shortbread (makes 10-12)
Halloween Cookie Cutters
x 2 Green & Black's Organic 70% Dark Chocolate 100g
White Fondant Icing
White Liquid Icing
Psst! If you're baking with children in mind, I'd recommend opting for a slightly less intense chocolate. Save the 70% cocoa for yourself, later in the night!
Now for the fun bit - decorating the biscuits! If you're with little ones, this is the perfect opportunity for them to play about with decorative bits and bobs. Though having said that, it's pretty fun for adults too, amiright? With a tub of Waitrose's homebaking bronze crunch (metallic sugar) in hand, I've created three possible designs before the chocolate completely set. Later in the day, the ghoulish goggles and slightly-squiffy fangs were added using white fondant and liquid icing. Simple!
Themed biscuits at the ready, spooky playlist sounding throughout the place and then all that remains is scattering some painted-gourds and carved pumpkins around and ta-da - Halloween! I've done my celebrating with others already this weekend and so my Halloween plans will now most likely consist of horror films and a ton of themed food. But enough about me, let me know what you're up to (or have been up to) this Halloween?!
With love,
Gabrielle x
I plan to go out with some old friends and really have a fun night out.

Gaby dear, I will add this scandalously sweet and surprisingly stylish biscuits (hahaha... love your expressions) to my personal cookbook. Happy Halloween sweetie. Oh tonight I am invited to my colleague's house to celebrate Halloween :)
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely made up for the lack of Halloween content with these scrummy biscuits! What a lovely idea to hand these to Trick or Treaters instead of sweets! I'm loving the copper ode too!
ReplyDeleteMusings & More

ReplyDeleteI think I'm just going to the movies tonight - which is not exactly Halloween-related, but I'll definitely eat all the candy! ;)

These photographs are fantastic Gabrielle and love how cute these Halloween chocolatey baked goods have turned out, you are quite the talented baker.
ReplyDeleteI could see you create a gorgeous range of Christmas biscuits too! Little chocolate angels and decorated trees would be ever so cute too.
As for Halloween dressing up is always fun, I used to dress up and celebrate it however I don't tend too anymore, maybe I will one day though :)
Hope you had a lovely Halloween and see you soon!

I can't handle horror movies! I am such a wimp when it comes to that haha but I do like to celebrate Halloween with friends eating a bunch of junk. Love the cookies, they look so adorable and delicious! I actually didn't get to do much celebrating this year because I had to work and study all weekend, but I still managed to find time to gorge a lot of chocolate, Starbursts, and Skittles haha

love the ideas! I am going to try these even though halloween is over ;) :)
ReplyDeleteI had a little halloween party at a friends house but that was about it.
I didn't grow up celebrating Halloween and as such I just don't do anything on the day off. I do enjoy the sweets though! Your cookies came out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everything turned out well, Gabrielle. I hope you enjoyed your week and Halloween. Now, it's time for us to start some holiday pre-baking so that is what I will be doing this weekend and a long overdue massage. Delicious result! x/Madison
