Chocolate skulls are easy to make and can add tasty spookiness to your next Halloween party. With a little ingenuity, you can take these simple skulls and make them more elaborate. Decorate the skulls with icing and give the skull a scary face by dying the icing red and letting it drip down the skull. Make the skulls cute by adding candy flowers or other hard candies. Be creative and tailor the skull to your Halloween party and guests.
Instructions
Make the Skulls
1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with approximately 1 inch of water.
2. Place the bottom pot on the stovetop and set to high until the water boils. Turn the heat down to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
3. Place the top pot over the bottom pot and add the chocolate.
4. Melt the chocolate. Stir it as it melts to maintain a smooth texture. Add your extract of choice while the chocolate melts and continue stirring.
5. Pour the melted chocolate into the molds. If you have a two part mold, fill both halves before snapping the mold together.
6. Cool and harden the chocolate completely before removing from the mold. For ease, place the filled molds in the refrigerator for five to ten minutes before removing the chocolate skulls.
