Ginger Wasabi Filled Chocolate Skulls - warmly spicy with sweet ginger and wasabi, these five ingredient rich dark chocolate skulls have a surprise kick in flavor!
Ginger Wasabi Filled Chocolate Skulls
Happy Halloween! I think I might do months of treats and sweets more often - this sure was fun!
My last treat is perfect for Halloween, and these can be handed out to the parents walking around with their kids. Well, the adventurous parents...
Ever since I made my first filled candies, the raspberry jalapeno chocolates, I have wanted to make more - they are just too fun.
I found this skull ice cube mold recently, and knew I was going to fill it with chocolate, not water. I found some wasabi powder (three ingredients - horseradish, spirulina, turmeric) and blended it with maple syrup and a base of tahini, and finely chopped ginger. Oh so good.
Happy Halloween, indeed!

I can't wrap my mind around ginger wasabi chocolates. I'm sure they are amazing. And tahini shortbread. They both look amazing. I'm going to have to try them.
spabettie says
they were pretty amazing... try a smaller batch in case you are not really fond of them? the tahini shortbread, make a double batch 😉
Leah says
Those skulls are adorable - well as adorable as skulls can be - wow wasabi! I don't know if I would be brave enough to try them but they sure look good.
spabettie says
I know the heat isn't for everyone... the skulls are fun, though. I don't think I can wait until next Halloween to use them again, may have to make more skulls just because!
lindsay says
you are so clever! where did you find the skull molding? ADORABLE!
spabettie says
at a local grocery store here - our local version of a Whole Foods, just in the accessories section (I love that section...)

Ha these are so cute and woah what a super creative flavor combo, I love it.
We're having a night in tonight, getting ready for our trip next week, but I do plan to watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown in just a bit, while I sip on some wine! Have a great night!
spabettie says

Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Oh my gosh! Will you please just move closer to me already! Please!!!
The boys are out trick or treating! I'm on candy duty!
spabettie says
we had fun with candy duty - Jason and I took turns wearing the horse head mask - whomever had that on had to hold Basil while the other person answered the door and gave out candy! SO FUN!
ameyfm says
ooh, those little skull molds are awesome! tonight I have to teach yoga, but after that I'll go into town where the whole city center is closed to cars and people parade around in their costumes. It's so much fun!
spabettie says
that sounds like a fun time - I would love to find a celebration like that next year, especially if we can bring a pup - I don't like to think of Basil home alone on Halloween, if people are coming to the door...
