Despite their appearance, these are in fact palmiers. I like the change from the heart shape, but that isn’t the only difference. To make these pastries extra decadent, they are sandwiched together with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar on the top. Oh la la.

Happy 2014! I’m kicking off the new year making my second favorite pastry dough, puff pastry. It loses out to pate a choux for the sole reason that it takes SO LONG to make. I’m specifically talking about inactive time, which may not sound bad but when it is in intervals, 2 hours each x 4 in this particular recipe, you really need a day at home for this project. Perfect snowed-in activity. 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. 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.
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. SHARE:      |
