# Creepy Cranium Chocolates Blackchocolateco Makes Chocolate That Resembles an Anatomical Skull By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-06-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomical-skull References: [thegreenhead](http://www.thegreenhead.com/2014/06/lifesize-anatomically-correct-100-chocolate-human-skulls.php) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackChocolateCohttps://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackChocolateCo) [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) shop Blackchocolateco crafts and sells chocolate that resembles a real anatomical skull that doctors use. So whether you are a doctor, a mad scientist, a professor or simply someone who likes a little bit of morbidity in their life, this type of chocolate is perfect for you. The disturbingly decadent chocolates may look like they boast a lot of bone, but in fact, they are actually made with the [finest Belgian chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palm-bites) and come in a variety of flavors, like Dark, Chili, Caramel and Milk Chocolate. To make the [chocolate skulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-squashies-squeletons) so life-like, the confectioner makes them in a mold taken from a genuine human skull. He or she then hand-finishes them and dusts them in fine cocoa powder for added realism. Unfortunately, they only remain edible for six months. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Anatomical-themed Chocolates:** Trend opportunity: Create and market other anatomical-themed chocolates to cater to the morbid fascination of certain consumer segments. - **Realistic Food Molds:** Trend opportunity: Develop and sell molds that can be used to create realistic food replicas, expanding the range of unique edible products. - **Edible Art Forms:** Trend opportunity: Combine food and art by creating edible sculptures or replicas that serve as both aesthetically pleasing and delicious confections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gourmet Chocolate Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unique and unconventional chocolate products to differentiate from traditional offerings and attract novelty-seeking customers. - **Food Mold Manufacturing Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced molds and techniques for creating realistic food replicas, catering to the growing demand for visually appealing, novelty food items. - **Culinary Art Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge the worlds of food and art by creating edible sculptures, expanding the possibilities for culinary creativity and consumer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Caramelized Organ Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs.md) - [Macabre Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-shops.md) - [Spooky Specialty Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delysia-chocolatier.md) - [Artisanal Halloween Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-halloween-collection.md) - [Ghostly Vegan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-chocolate-ghost.md) - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md) - [3D-Printed Valentine's Day Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-bonbons.md) - [Gourmet Halloween-Themed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-halloweenthemed-chocolates.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lobster.md)
