We are getting closer to celebrate All Saint's Day and The Day of the Dead, and this time I made some calaveritas (AKA Sugar skulls) using melted chocolate.
The traditional "calaveritas" are made of sugar, but now a days you can find them made out of chocolate, gummies, popcorns, rice krispies treats and off course cookies! Click HERE
This chocolate skulls are really, really easy, you will need your favorite tempered chocolate chips or bar, royal icing if you want to decorate it and chocolate molds, I used one mold that is to make a hollow chocolate skull and the other one is a silicon mold that has some embossing inside, so the chocolate comes out very pretty.
If you want to use these skulls for a "Day of the dead altar" as an ofrenda, you can use royal icing and edible glitter pearls to decorate it. Here I have a very nice "royal icing class" if you want to learn how to make it. Click HERE
Here is the tutorial on how to make the skull bellow: Click HERE
For this one I used a chocolate bomb mold, the one I used is from Michaels, but you can find one similar HERE
For these small chocolate skulls, I used a silicon mold from Nordstrom Rack and here you can find one similar, click HERE
Although we like to call them "calaveritas de azúcar" in English means little skeletons, the right word is "cráneos de azúcar" that means "sugar skulls".
What ever you like to call them, if you are celebrating "Día de los muertos" This is a cute spooky festive treat to make, that can also be added to your "Boo basket" for your trick or treaters!
