Oh, my… can you believe that Halloween is already around the corner? I know, amazing, right?
Bloody Mary Shots
Halloween is the perfect excuse to have a little fun with drinks. These Bloody Mary Shots in syringes bring playful chills and are zesty, savoury, and made to bring extra fun to your Halloween night. I have always loved Halloween. It may not be an Italian tradition, but it reminds me of Carnevale, which has…

Knock, knock… trick or treat? Can you believe that Halloween is already around the corner? I know, crazy, right?
October Menu Plan
Today’s post is a special one. In fact, I will not just share ONE recipe with all of you, but I will share a month worth of delicious recipes in this October Menu Plan.
Halloween Ghost Cookies
Buttery and crisp, these Halloween Ghost Cookies are topped with fluffy ganache and cheeky chocolate chip eyes. A frightfully tasty treat for your spooky table. These Halloween ghost cookies are one of my favourite spooky treats to make at this time of year. Buttery shortbread bases are topped with whipped white chocolate ganache and finished…
Broken Glass Cupcakes
These bloody Broken Glass Cupcakes make a spooky Halloween centrepiece with shards of sugar glass and sticky “blood.” The soft pumpkin sponge and sweet buttercream taste every bit as wicked as they look. Bloody broken glass cupcakes! Don’t they look scary? I love how spooky they turn out, yet they’re completely edible and so much…
Marsala Gelato with Pumpkin Sauce
Today’s recipe is inspired by the month of October. I know I say this often, but to me getting used to what I still consider “reversed” seasons is almost impossible. So October is still autumn to me, even though down here we are in the middle of spring! That is why, I decided that combining…
Blood Orange Margarita
There’s no better match for ghost stories and pumpkin lanterns than a Blood Orange Margarita. Bright, tart, and just spooky enough for grown-up treats. Happy Halloween, everyone! I can’t believe October is almost over. It feels like Christmas is already peeking around the corner. My parents will be visiting soon, and we are already planning…
Halloween Punch
A glass of Halloween Punch becomes strangely inviting when lychee “eyes” peek through the deep purple drink, a spooky surprise for both little ghouls and grown-ups. I still remember my first Halloween in Australia. Back in Italy, we never really celebrated it, so I didn’t grow up trick-or-treating or making themed treats. Here, however, my…
Carbone della Befana (Italian Sweet Coal)
Don’t be fooled by its eerie look. Carbone della Befana, the traditional Italian Sweet Coal, is a wickedly fun and delicious treat to share at Halloween. Carbone della Befana, or Italian sweet coal, is one of those whimsical candies that instantly brings back childhood memories. In Italy, the holiday season lasts until 6 January, the…
HALLOWEEN TREATS
I must admit I have never celebrated Halloween before moving to Australia. When I was a child, we did not have Halloween in Italy. We used to celebrate the 2nd of November which is “All Souls Day” (or “il giorno dei morti” as we call it). That’s the day we remember our loved ones who…
