Speculoos cookies are similar to gingersnaps but the spice here being cinnamon. These are a great alternative to the traditional spice or gingerbread cookie because they are more mild and they don’t have that strong molasses flavor.
Bouchon Bakery: Caramel Apples
Caramel apples always brings me back to my childhood and celebrating Halloween – bobbing for apples, dipping them in caramel, then the puzzle of how to expand my jaw to bite into them. I never actually liked eating them though because there was too much apple in proportion to caramel. I decided for this recipe I’d make miniature caramel apples! I loved how they turned out.
Bouchon Bakery: Witch Hats
These Halloween treats are decadent versions of s’mores with a Speculoos cookie brim (delicious on it’s own), piped homemade marshmallow for the point and a chocolate covering to give them a wicked look.
Cronuts: Take Two and More from Dominique Ansel
Three months after having my first cronut I felt like the food memory was fading so of course I went for another. This time I did a pre-order which maxed out my phone bill for the month (oops!) from excessive dialing but it was worth it not to wait in line again. This time around I got to try September’s fig and mascarpone cream.
