Halloween is just a few days away, so here are some dessert ideas to treat yourself on this occasion; many recipes with pumpkin of course, but also chocolate, dried fruits, maple syrup, or even some drinks… Here, no brains, fingers, or other gory cookies/cakes, I prefer the sweeter and prettier versions, I’ll let you discover all of this!
 
- Spider web cookies

All chocolate cookies that are very soft, with their vanilla marshmallow spider web, enough to delight everyone!

Creamy vanilla and white chocolate mousses, very easy to make, and little whipped cream ghosts with chocolate chip eyes, the kids' favorite dessert for Halloween.
