Halloween Candy Lava Cake
November 6, 2013
After Halloween, we realize that we are left with loads of tiny candies and chocolate bars. We can either keep them for a while in their fun size wrappers and munch on them for weeks on end, or we could be a little more creative and turn them into dessert! Case in point: Halloween Candy Lava Cakes.
Chocolate lava cakes, a.k.a. molten center chocolate cakes, have a gooey chocolate center that oozes out of the cake. They can be so rich you'll keep asking for more. Often, a chocolate truffle is put at the center of cake before baking. For its Halloween counterpart, you can use Halloween candies for a substitute. Think mini Snickers, Milky Way, Twix… You get the picture. This cake has diverse fillings inside it that it gets so decadent.
It’s best to use square-shaped mini candy bars, since they are a perfect fit in the muffin cups. If what you have is the rectangular "fun size" candy bars, cut them in half to form two squares before putting them in.

Halloween Candy Lava Cake • 6 4 oz. dark chocolate, coarsely chopped Preheat oven to 400F. Butter a 6-cup muffin tin and dust each well with cocoa powder. In a small bowl, melt together 4-oz chocolate and the butter. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture triples in volume and is very thick (about 5-7 minutes). Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the tops are set. Let cakes cool in pan for 5 minutes before running a knife around the edge of each cake and turning them out onto a flat surface. Serve immediately on individual plates. |
Enjoy! 🙂
