Blood-Splattered Chocolate Treats

These Spooky Sweets are Perfect for Halloween

— September 28, 2015 — Lifestyle
Refinery29 unveiled a recipe for a batch of spooky sweets that are perfect for Halloween. With summer officially over, many people are looking forward to Halloween. These blood-spattered treats are the perfect way to celebrate the scariest day of the year.

The spooky sweets are extremely simple to make and provide a great way to use up extra candy. The desserts consist of white chocolate bark, which has been covered in red cookie icing. The icing is drizzled onto the bark in a haphazard way in order to mimic the effect of blood splatter. The end result is a batch of tasty chocolates with a frighting Halloween twist.

The chocolate bark is perfect for those who prefer DIY treats to store-bought Halloween candy.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Halloween Treats - The trend of people making their own spooky treats for Halloween is on the rise, creating an opportunity for businesses to provide easy-to-follow recipes and ingredients for customers to use at home.
2. Holiday-themed Desserts - As consumers show a growing interest in festive desserts for various holidays, businesses can innovate by creating unconventional, yet tasty, treats that cater to different customers' preferences and celebrate diverse cultures.
3. Blood-splatter Aesthetics - The use of blood-splatter designs in food and fashion is becoming popular among consumers who enjoy the macabre and horror genres, prompting businesses to incorporate this style in their designs to appeal to a younger, more edgy target market.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Companies in the food and beverage industry can create a line of DIY Halloween-themed products or easy-to-follow recipe books to cater to the growing trend of making homemade treats.
2. E-commerce - The demand for holiday-themed desserts opens up opportunities for online stores to expand their inventory and provide more creative and niche options to consumers who may not have access to in-store products.
3. Art and Design - The popularity of the blood-splatter aesthetic can inspire artists and designers to create pieces that incorporate this trend, from clothing to home decor, as well as collaborating with food businesses to offer visually appealing products for consumers.
