If you're really into zombies -- or you just really want to show your love for someone in a more realistic way -- then why not bake them some 'Anatomically Correct Heart Macaroons?' This rather [gory dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs) may look a little alarming, but they're sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

These incredibly detailed and realistic treats were created by Miss Insomnia Tulip. They'll be available through EYHO bakers.

The piece is certainly accurately named because these aren't just your average heart-shaped [macaroons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dipped-macarons); they show every vein and artery in the organ. Tulip created these by using several different colors for the dough including red, yellow, two different blues and beige.

Definitely a [fun idea for Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tous-les-jours-spooky-delights) -- or for the more quirky romantic in your life.
