Because I didn't have any edible skulls on my list and now I do!!
These are really skull truffles from D.L & Co. the guy who makes the amazing candles and cool memento mori plates.

description of chocolates below:
mori ex cacao 'death by chocolate' by d.l. & co.
modern alchemist douglas little & confectioner valerie gordon, drawn together by a mutual admiration for the quality and beauty of each other’s creations, are pleased to debut the mori ex cacao collection. based on dl&co’s memento mori collection, the exquisite skulls are rendered in bittersweet chocolate, filled with one of three delicious centers and then individually painted with colored cocoa butter to achieve the pristine, disturbing result.

these marvelous and macabre chocolate skulls are among the most extravagant confections made today. notable for the excellence and purity of their ingredients. the organic nature of the product renders them exquisite, expensive, and an experience not to be missed.

available flavors include:

* scorched caramel
organic cream is slowly combined with sugar over an intense flame, until the deep amber confection appears. decadent.
* bitter brandied cherry
an exquisite and unusual confection of indulgent bitter chocolate, kirsch-perfumed ganache and succulent sour cherries steeped in liqueur, finished in porcelain white cocoa.
* curious chili an eccentric array of chilies and spices are combined with the deepest chocolate into an exotic and exciting sensation, with a heat that lingers long after the chocolate is gone. an extraordinary experience.

The perfect gift for those feeling a bit morbid this holiday season. Douglas Little has worked with confectioner valerie gordon to create the mori ex cacao (death by chocolate) collection. The delicately delicious skulls are done in bittersweet chocolate and filled with either scorched caramel, bitter brandied cherry or chili and chocolate and then painted with colored cocoa butter. A set of three, one of each flavor, sells for $90.
