"bone" news and stories

I know that there's still plenty of time between now and Halloween or Day of the Dead, but I think that these life-size chocolate skulls bear mentioning. According to skull-making chocolatier Marina Malvada, the skulls are cast from a food-grade silicone mold that was, in turn, molded from a real human skull. I'm not sure if the skulls are solid chocolate, but that would be my guess, as each one costs over $100. They're available in white, dark, semisweet and "bone," which, according to the site, is a blend of Belgian white and milk chocolates.
