  1. Day of the deadchocolate skulls and skeletons By Michael Valk

  2. The Project • For my project, I made 28 chocolate skeletons • The process was melt, mold, freeze and repeating this process • One go-around makes two “Bags of bones” • Two bags take around 23 minutes to make • Made with a mold that had two full skeletons in it

  3. The History • Traditionally, chocolate skulls are used for decorations in dia de los muertes festivities. Skeletons used in day of the dead range form tissue paper to simple plastic toys. Skeletons are usually cheerful and they are designed to show the full range of activities and professions people perform. Farmers, barbers, secretaries, fire fighters. If somebody does it while alive, you can find an artistic rendering of a skeleton doing it while dead. This theme extends to the day's food and treats. Some common treats are skulls and skeletons made of sugar or candy. Some people get sugar skulls made to resemble themselves, or with their names inscribed on them.

  5. My Project At the top right, I am molding the chocolate At the top left, there is the chocolate I used for the entire project This is the final product This is one of the molds I used

  6. What I made • I made a “Bag of bones” for everyone in the class • The chocolate is a special melting chocolate and is vanilla flavored • In addition, I made a coffin, a giant skull and a larger skeleton

  7. Statistics • In total this project took 6 ½ hours to make • I used 4 ½ 12oz. Bags of white chocolate and 1 bag of purple chocolate That’s over 60oz. Of chocolate!

  8. The process Step 1; Melt the chocolate for 1 minute in a microwave at half power, kneed it and then put it in to the microwave for another 40 seconds at half power and kneed it again. Next cut a hole in the bag it self, preferably in the corner, and go to step two.

  9. Step 2 Get your mold and aline your bag for what your going to fill. Onlymake a rough blob of chocolate. Now, take your tray and gently clank it against the table until your chocolate sets into the mold. Add more if necessary. This stage takes around 10 minutes to complete.

  10. Step3 Put the chocolate mixture in the fridge for 8-10 minutes. After that time take it out and press the mold until it falls out.
