Meringue Devils
Spooky little Halloween meringues — crispy, airy, and almost too cute to eat. Makes about 30 devils per batch.
We make these at least once a month — crispy outside, soft in the middle. Using both cocoa and melted chocolate makes all the difference.
Preheat oven to 180°C and line a 20cm square pan with baking paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Melt butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in both sugars until well combined, then beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Don't overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips if using, then pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don't overbake.
Cool completely in pan before lifting out using paper overhang and cutting into squares.

Great way to use up stale bread — crispy, buttery sticks rolled in cinnamon sugar. Ready in under 20 minutes.

Perfect way to use up sourdough discard — takes maybe 10 minutes to put together and comes out of the oven crackling crisp.
