Pear skulls.
Argh! I saw this on BHG and had to yoink it because it is perfect for our Halloween Crazy Dinner.
These are so fantastic. I absolutely love them. And not at all hard to make. Instead of using milk chocolate, the pears are dipped into melted white chocolate, then black candy pieces were attached to resemble a skull head.
Goodness I just think these are fantastic. Now I am going to have to figure out a way to incorporate them into the menu as a whole.
To get them to anchor in a dish like that, a chunk of florist foam was used, then covered with the green candies so as not to show through. The stems of the pears were removed and sticks just like what you use with caramel apples (lollipop or popsicle sticks) were used to push into the foam to anchor them in place.
And with that, you have a fantastic skull imitation. I cannot wait to try to make these. And I cannot wait to see the reaction.
