Would you normally use the word "cute" to describe a skull? Aside from "delicious", that is the only adjective that seems to apply to these Day of the Dead chocolate skulls from Vosges Chocolate. The skulls are made from white, milk and dark chocolate and have a variety of flavor combinations inspired by el Día de los Muertos. The skulls' black eyes are made with edible glitter, which gives them a surprising amount of depth for something on a 2-ounce chocolate skull! The flavors include:
- Blanca - Venezuelan white chocolate (33% cocoa butter)
- Red Fire - Ancho and chipotle chilies, Ceylon cinnamon, dark chocolate
- Barcelona - Hickory smoked almonds, grey sea salt, deep milk chocolate
The one thing that is scary about these skulls is the price. They sell for $8 each! Of course, when you're going to go all-out for a holiday celebration anyway, a little indulgence is warranted, right?
