Fun Halloween baking ideas & recipes

From fun ghoulish breadsticks to the traditional Irish barmbrack and a decadent chocolate orange cake, here are some creative Halloween recipe ideas for you to try.

Chocolate pumpkin cut out cookies – decorated with royal icing to create a fun mummy effect.
Savoury pumpkin rosemary bread – a deliciously moist bread with a lot of structure and bite and a crisp and toasty crust. The bread has a mild pumpkin flavour with a hint of rosemary.
Ghoulish breadsticks – one of my favourite Halloween snack ideas, how brilliant are these almond fingernails!
Irish Halloween barmbrack – a sweet bread leavened with yeast, enriched with milk and butter, infused with cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake in traditional Halloween tokens for added suspense.
Orange pumpkin face cookies – fun biscuits to give to trick or treaters.
Halloween chocolate orange cake – stylish and delicious, ideal for Halloween dinner parties.
Fruity caramel baked apples – good old baked apples with brandy or whisky cream for a tasty touch.

There are also some cool Halloween baking tools you can work with. I’m a big fan of Lékué products and they have two Halloween-themed silicone moulds: a 3D pumpkin form and Halloween themed skull, bat, pumpkin and ghost mini shapes.
