    Apple and Pear Puff Pastry Mummies

    I love Halloween and it's a great time for me to show off my hosting skills. With Halloween comes the ability to create a lot of great desserts that fit the theme. If you're in the midst of planning a party, cleaning your house, and making food, though, you might not have a lot of time to focus on what you're going to make. With these puff pastry mummies, you can cut down on a lot of time using store bought puff pastry sheets.

    If you don't want to make the filling, you can easily do homemade instead! I wanted to give these a true autumnal feel so I also added in some masala chai spice, which you can opt in for or do cinnamon and nutmeg.

    Pears and apples are in season for the fall, but if you have a favorite fruit, you can easily swap them in!

    Pupusas Stuffed with Chicken and Cheese

    Pupusas are stuffed griddle cakes with origins from El Salvador and Honduras. There's a restaurant in Atlanta called La Bodega that's a market and pupuseria. They recently inspired me to make my own pupusas at home! The dough comes together in a bowl and with just 3 ingredients you'll have it ready to go in a few minutes.

    You can easily stuff these with whatever filling you'd like, but I opted for chicken and a queso fresco. I do recommend trying other fillings out too once you get a hang of creating the pupusa dough; so beans, vegetables, and other types of cheese!

    These are generally served with a curtido, which is a type of slaw, but you can also pair them with your favorite salsa and guacamole too.

    Matilda Chocolate Cake

    When it comes to chocolate cake, I want it to be incredibly chocolaty, moist, and full of flavor. I prefer using a black cocoa powder for a deeper, intense chocolate flavor. You can easily cut the cake layers in half, or just keep it as a 2-tiered cake instead.
