In the Baking Spirit

5 recipes to whet your appetite rather than tingle your spine. [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 413 [Pan de Muerto (Day of the Dead Bread)]( I am a pretty big wimp when it comes to Halloween. Sure, I enjoy a good scary movie from time to time, but haunted houses are a hard pass for me. I'd much rather be home cozying up with some of my favorite people. You too? I have several recipes that will make excellent additions to any Halloween gathering. If you're into the Halloween theme, these [Mummy Hand Pies]( are for you. Cute as can be, they're extra fun to make with young helpers — rolling, filling, and brushing are just a few of the tasks they'll enjoy. Meanwhile, guests of all ages will get a kick out of these little hand pies before devouring them in mere bites. [Spider Web Brownies]( would achieve the same end result and provide a similar level of entertainment for small hands. Plus, they just look really cool. No Halloween gathering is complete for me without a batch (or five) of [Caramel Corn](. This stuff is "can't stop" good, and it's a great snack for any type of get-together. Or if what you want is a true show-stopper in flavor and looks, then I wholeheartedly recommend this [Black Sesame Cake](. Our ingenious Senior Recipe Developer, Susan Reid, invented the original version of this cake for a friend's wedding and graciously allowed us to publish it in honor of Halloween this year. Please do share what you think of it. I can honestly say I have never tasted anything like it; it's that bewitching. In all this talk of Halloween, I would be remiss to skip mentioning Día de Muertos. For those of you who observe this holiday, Pan de Muerto may be on your mind. [This recipe]( (above) for two orange and anise-scented loaves comes to us from Pati Jinich, and we hope it'll become a part of your Día de Muertos tradition. These soft, sweet, loaves would undoubtedly be a great tribute to those who have passed and bring together those who are living — two phenomenal reasons to bake.
