Hello, all you boo-tiful people! It’s time to cue up Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and break out the candy corn…because October has finally made it’s glorious debut! I had a little bit of time yesterday to sort through my Halloween decorations and put a few out, but I couldn’t fully get into the decorating mood until I had some spooky-sweet snacks to munch on while I decked the halls with boughs of polyester cobwebs! 😉
I absolutely love madeleines. They’re the perfect little treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee, and since Fall is finally here, I wasted no time in breaking out the pumpkin puree and taking a stab at making a batch of pumpkin madeleines! While they were baking away in the oven, I plundered through my sprinkle bin in the pantry (yes, I have a bin dedicated entirely to sprinkles) to see if I had any leftover candy eyeballs from last Halloween that I could use to spruce these mini cakes up just a bit.
I dipped the ends of a few madeleines to make little ghost faces, and I used a piping bag to make a few mummies. These are super easy to make, and they’d be perfect to share with friends or family at a Halloween or Fall-themed party!
Here’s a free printable version of the recipe if you’d like to give it a try! You’ll also need to make sure you have a few things on hand, which you can find linked below!
Mummy Madeleines
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 package Almond Bark
- Small Candy Eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Spray madeleine pan with non-stick cooking spray
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, sugar and oil until well blended
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder and salt
- Gently pour small amounts of flour mixture into wet mixture a little bit at a time and stir after each pour until all of the flour is well combined into wet mixture.
- Spoon batter into each mold and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean
- Allow to cool completely before adding chocolate and candy eyes
- Melt white almond bark in a microwave safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals to prevent scorching

- Serve immediately and enjoy!
