Fall has definitely arrived—at least here in Milan—and I’ve decided to bid a final farewell to the nice weather with these chocolate and pear muffins! In fact, just from the cover photo, you can see that I actually made this recipe back in September. I was sure the bad weather was coming, but we were spared until early November—not bad, I must say! So here’s the recipe for chocolate and pear muffins.

Trick-or-treat? This American holiday is becoming more and more popular in Italy too, and the treats you can make are truly endless!! :D Today I wanted to share with you these vanilla cookies filled with jam or Nutella, shaped like terrifying pumpkins and skulls. They’re super easy to make, and the kids will love them!!!
