Halloween was most fun when my daughter was young. I made costumes for her ever year. But now that she doesn't go trick or treating anymore, it is not too exciting, sadly. We had lots of Halloween candies to give out. But they didn't appeal to me. I am not a big fun of Halloween candies even though I love sweets. So I decided to bake chocolate financiers with hazel nuts.
The combination of chocolate and hazel nuts is inspired by Nutella, obviously. I just make hazel nut powder with a grinder.
It was really rich and tasty.
I realized that I had missed baking. Now that I go to school, it is hard to find time to bake. I love the quietness in the kitchen and I like moving slowly to savor every moment of baking. But that kind of baking hadn't happened for long time. So I enjoyed baking these financiers in the Saturday afternoon.
We curved the pumpkin in the last minute. I love the devilish smile my daughter designed.
