The first of the month just keeps coming and We Should Cocoa turns forever faster! October has been a busy month what with National Chocolate Week, Halloween and the last few episodes of The Great British Bake Off – oh no! There are a lot of us bakers who are very sad to see it go. But read on to see what these 13 cheeky chocolate recipes have been inspired by.
Bonfire Night Recipes
Bonfire Cake
Dom over at Belleau Kitchen sets things off in a blaze of glory with this stunning triple layer bonfire cake.
Toffee Apple Chocolate Tiffin
Tiffin is one of my favourite things and I’d love a piece of this toffee apple candy chocolate tiffin from Beth at Jam & Clotted Cream as my Bonfire Night treat.
Chocolate Toffee Apples
Just in time to give Guy Fawkes a run for his money, Mel of Sharky Oven Gloves (who wasn’t in the least bit sold on this combination), brings us not just any old toffee apples, but chocolate toffee apples.
Halloween Chocolate Recipes
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cake
Halloween had to make an appearance and I’m so glad it did. This chocolate peanut butter swirl cake from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary is the best Halloween Cake I’ve ever seen.
Chocolate Tahini Maca Bliss Balls
We are assured by Johanna that her post is not a Halloween one, but these balls look like mighty fine one eyed monsters to me. However, unlike most Halloween treats, the chocolate tahini maca bliss balls from Green Gourmet Giraffe are healthy ones.

Loving all these chocolate bakes, loads of chocolate inspiration here! I’ve added a little something this month, hurrah!

Yay Lucy. Glad to hear you’re back in the world of chocolate love ๐
jenny paulin says
what delicious chocolate bakes – that spider cake is so clever x
Choclette says
I always love seeing what people have made, but you are right that spider cake is ace.
Sarah James @ Tales From The Kitchen Shed says
What a delicious round up Choclette. I can’t believe it’s so long since I baked with chocolate, must remedy this and make sure I join We Should Cocoa more often.
Choclette says
Thanks Sarah, please do remedy. I always look forward to seeing your chocolate creations ๐
Phil in the Kitchen says
Very fine roundup and a great variety of very fine recipes. I’m sorry to have stayed away for so long.
Choclette says
Yes, you are very much missed Phil. Hope to see you joining in more often again.
Sammie says
Ooh what a yummy We Should Cocoa collection. Thank you for featuring my gluten free Roulade. I’ve also been checking out some of the other bakes and bloggers. A lovely way to view more delicious recipes.
Choclette says
Thanks Sammie, it’s always worth checking out other recipes and blogs I find. There are some real treasures out there ๐
Kate - gluten free alchemist says
That has to be one of the best choccy round-ups I have seen for ages Choclette. Some lovely recipes to explore! Thanks for hosting xx
Choclette says
Thanks Kate. It’s always a joy to see what folk get up to with their chocolate and it’s a pleasure doing the round-ups:)
Riz says
Oh, yum! What a yummy chocolate filled post!! I love the eyes of the spider on Elizabeth’s cake! I just posted a chocolate recipe I think I’m going to send in : )
Choclette says
Oh lovely Riz, please do, I’ll look forward to seeing it. I find Elisabeth’s spider really quite scary and I’m not scared of spiders ๐
Nayna Kanabar says
What a wonderful array of delicious recipes all look so tasty.
Choclette says
It’s hard to go wrong with chocolate, but I always enjoy seeing what people make with it.
All That I'm Eating says
What a delicious collection! I’m torn between the tiffin and that chocolate Halloween cake!
Choclette says
It’s a good one isn’t it? For me, I’m just unable to resist tiffin if it’s on offer.
Elizabeth says
Such a gorgeous collection! Thank you for featuring my chocolate Halloween cake too! Now to get brainstorming for this month’s entry! ๐
Choclette says
I have to say Elizabeth, I think you’ll have a very hard time surpassing your spider cake – it’s a masterpiece. Now there’s a challenge ๐
Johanna @ Green Gourmet Giraffe says
Tiffin, kefir and Proust! Oh my! A great fun round up and too much temptation. I have a few chocolate posts this month and am just not sure which one to send in! After your comment on the tahini and chocolate combination I am tempted by my chocolate and tahini recipe but might go for the fun cake!
Choclette says
Oh decisions, decisions! I’m impressed you’re so well organised you know what you’re going to make.
Jo says
Oh there are so many yummy things here. We don’t have tiffin here in NZ that I’m aware of, or maybe we call it by a different name but whatever it’s called, I’ll be trying both these.
Choclette says
Tiffin is also called fridge cake and biscuit cake. You can tell I like it as I have about 10 different recipes on my blog.
