Pot of Bones Halloween Chocolate Covered Cherries Mini Bundt Cakes Recipe

Hola Amigos! I know we've all heard of a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow, but for Halloween the only thing you are going to find is a Pot of Bones...buahhhahhahaha!!!

This is a super easy and tasty recipe because it didn't feel right to have all these Halloween desserts on the blog and non dipped in chocolate...The Irony!

Problem solved! Taking cue from popular valentine's treat, this mini bundts taste just like cherry ice cream covered in chocolate fudge!

I tell you, the minute I finished with the pictures, I ate mine! Amazing so much flavor is coming out of this morsel of goodness.

The chocolate ganache is the easiest glaze you could ever make but the flavor and texture makes this a decadent dessert.

The bones...it just to remind you that the spookiest night of all is right around the corner...better watch whats hiding behind the door and under the bed!

Thank you for visiting the blog today! Hope you are having a great time preparing for Halloween in and out of the kitchen.
And remember my pretties...everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Lizy

Pot of Bones Halloween Chocolate Covered Cherries Mini Bundt Cakes

Ingredients:

1 Small Bag (8.25 oz) Vanilla Cupcake mix

1 Large Jar (10 oz) Maraschino Cherries, chopped (Save liquid!)

3/4 Cup Juice from the Maraschino Cherries

Bag of Bones Candy (got mine at the Dollar Store)

For the Ganache

4 oz Semi-Sweet chocolate chopped (I use Ghirardelli) 

1/2 Cup Cream

1 TBSP Butter

Directions:

Heat your oven at 350F or the temperature recommended in your cupcake mix direction. Prepare the mix accordingly, Usually eggs, oil and water but this time replace the amount of water for 3/4 cup of the Juice of the Maraschino Cherries. Once this is mix add the chopped cherries and gently incorporate them into the mix.

Prepare your mini bundt molds with oil and flour or cocoa (that's what I used) Fill them up 3/4 of  the way and bake according to the instructions 14-18 minutes.

Once done cool them off for 10 minutes before removing them from the mold. Place in a parchment paper  covered cookie sheet. 

In the meantime prepare the glaze by placing the chopped chocolate in a bowl.

Under  medium heat, bring the cream to a boil and add it to the chopped chocolate and add butter too. Whisk everything until smooth and let it cool for a few minutes before pouring a little on each mini bundt. Once they are covered place the decorative edible bones in the center of the mini bundt. The "pot" should look like it's full of them so be generous with each one.

Serve, scare and enjoy.

Prep Time:    6 minutes                          Cook Time:  14-20 minutes                        Serves 4

Eyes Of Newt Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

1 Box White Cake

1 Container (14 oz) White Icing

3 Halloween food coloring bottles (just a few drops of each)

Chocolate Eyes

Directions:

Heat your oven according to the instructions on the box. Prepare as indicated on the box.

Grease and Flour thoroughly a bundt pan. Divide your cake mix in 3 equal parts. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl containing the cake mix and mix until desired color is obtained. For example, a few drops of purple in one bowl, mix until you get the depth of color you want. Another few drops of green on another bowl mix until you get the desired depth and repeat with your last bowl of cake mix.

Pick a color and slowly pour it on your bundt pan. Take a diferent color and gently pour it on the previous. It doesn't need to be covered completely and most likely it won't which is perfect since the colors will look even better when cut. Repeat until all your batter is in the bundt. 

Bake according to instructions.Once it has cooled for a couple of minutes, turn your bundt upside down on a cooling rack with a plate at the bottom.

When your cake is completely cooled down, prepare the icing. 

Take your icing container and heat it up in the microwave for a minute or so (stop after 30 seconds, depending on your microwave it is probably ready and melted)

As you did with your batter, divide it in 3 containers and again mix the same colors to match the cake. Drip the first color over the cake, wait a few minutes till it cools and repeat until all the icing is gone and your cake is covered.

Decorate with the chocolate eyes. I dipped the bottom of each eye on a little bit of icing so when it dries it's attached good to the cake.

Serve and enjoy

Prep Time: 20 minutes                     Cook time  25-35 minutes                            Serves 8-12
