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!

makes 12 chocolate skulls
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup tahini paste
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon wasabi paste or powder (adjust to taste)
5-6 pieces crystallized ginger, minced fine
INSTRUCTIONS:
In small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate until smooth. Spoon a small amount into each mold, and using a small paintbrush, coat the mold completely. Place in refrigerator for 5 minutes or until chocolate has set.
Meanwhile, stir together tahini, maple syrup, wasabi and ginger. Fill each mold with wasabi tahini filling, leaving room at the top to seal with more chocolate. Reheat remaining chocolate and fill each mold, covering the filling completely. Tap molds on counter to remove any bubbles, return to refrigerator to set.
Happy Halloween - are you doing anything fun?

thank you, Deborah - nice to see you here 🙂 this is one of my favorite truffle recipes, and even if people are not into super spicy, these work!
Marfigs says
I am SO excited to try and make these...even if I don;t have the skull moulds - divine! 😀 My face just burst into a big smile when I saw these!
Kristina Sloggett says
aww, thank you!! enjoy!
Julia says
Ok. I made the chocolates, not skulls though 🙁 as part of my x-mas gift boxes, they went in w/the cayanne truffles, red wine truffles & green tea lollipops. They will now be added EVERY year. Everyone LOVED them. I had to make 3 batches b/c my kids couldn't stop eating them. Thank you
Emma Deirdre says
Kristina just brilliant! I picked up skull moulds during the week and couldn't think of anything great to do with them......These are awesome! Great idea! 🙂
spabettie says
awesome - I love these skulls, I know I'll be using this mold a lot! (chocolate was the first thing I thought of...) 😀
Cara says
I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to chocolate and love it paired with spice. I bet these were a hit!
spabettie says
they were, Cara! I like adventurous... we'd get along just fine!
Matt mmWine Horbund says
Love the devilish filling! A great play on sweet and "spicy"
spabettie says
thanks, Matt! I love to get creative with chocolate - a nice surprise inside!
erinwyso says
Love this! Spicy and chocolate should pair up together more frequently like this -- they taste so good together!
spabettie says
I agree, Erin - the first time I tried it was with my raspberry jalapeno chocolates and those were well received by everyone who tried them... already thinking of my next combination... 🙂
Mary @ Fit and Fed says
Ginger wasabi, cool combination idea (especially together with dark chocolate). Sounds like you found a really natural wasabi powder-- that can be a very hard thing to find.
spabettie says
I know, I was VERY happy to find this wasabi - and OOH it is hot! 🙂
Erika Lee Sears says
Yum! So perfect for Halloween.
spabettie says
thanks, Erika - I thought so too 🙂
