Sriracha-and-Wasabi Deviled Eggs

Go to Recipe

Chef Joanne Chang's mother used to make hard-boiled eggs for dinner: She would add them to the beef or chicken she was braising in soy. This is Joanne's riff on those eggs, made spicy with hot sauce and wasabi.

Chocolate-Caramel Sandwich Cookies

Go to Recipe

Rachel Thebault has reimagined the humble Oreo as an indulgence that is spectacular as an afternoon snack or as the end to an elegant meal. She replaces the creamy center with gooey golden caramel and then dips the sandwich in rich dark chocolate. Perfect with milk–or even better with a tawny port.

Mini Black-Bottom Cheesecakes

Credit: Tina Rupp
Go to Recipe

F&W's Grace Parisi made several versions of these brilliant little jam-topped cheesecakes, substituting fromage blanc and other tangy soft cheeses for the usual sour cream. Some versions were sweeter, others more tart; all were delicious. You don't need any special equipment to make them--just a muffin tin and foil liners. Top with a piece of candy corn to be extra festive.

Halloween Whoopie Pies

Go to Recipe

Tender chocolate cake with a luscious creamy filling is great in any form, but it's most fun of all in a whoopie pie. These little cakes are dressed in their Halloween finest with orange sashes made by rolling the creamy edges in bright orange nonpareils.
