Etsy shop Blackchocolateco crafts and sells chocolate that resembles a real anatomical skull that doctors use. So whether you are a doctor, a mad scientist, a professor or simply someone who likes a little bit of morbidity in their life, this type of chocolate is perfect for you.
The disturbingly decadent chocolates may look like they boast a lot of bone, but in fact, they are actually made with the finest Belgian chocolate and come in a variety of flavors, like Dark, Chili, Caramel and Milk Chocolate.
To make the chocolate skulls so life-like, the confectioner makes them in a mold taken from a genuine human skull. He or she then hand-finishes them and dusts them in fine cocoa powder for added realism. Unfortunately, they only remain edible for six months.
