Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Baked chocolate cake (crumbled)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 5 drops Gel food coloring (red or green)
- 12 pieces Candy eyes
- 1 tablespoon Edible glitter or sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing the mold if needed)
Instructions
Prepare the skull-shaped molds by lightly greasing them with butter if they are not non-stick. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each skull mold cavity. Use a small spoon or brush to evenly coat the inside of the molds, ensuring it forms a thick layer. Reserve some chocolate for sealing later.
Place the molds in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and hardened.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled chocolate cake, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Mix well until the mixture is dough-like and holds together.
Divide the cake mixture into portions and shape them to fit inside the chocolate-lined skull molds. Press gently to fill each mold, leaving a small space at the top to seal with more chocolate.
Rewarm the reserved melted chocolate if needed, and spoon it over the top of each filled mold to seal the cake mixture inside the chocolate shells. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Place the molds back in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Carefully remove the skull monsters from the molds and set them on a tray or plate.
Use gel food coloring to add creepy details like blood drips or glowing effects. Attach candy eyes using a tiny dab of melted chocolate, and sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles for extra flair.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
