# Unexpectedly Toothy Treats Andrew Bell Turns Hershey's Kisses into Vampire-Style Sculptures By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-kisses References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/kisses-of-death-monstrous-sculptures-that-look-like-chocolate-kisses-with-sharp-teeth/) & [creaturesinmyhead](http://www.creaturesinmyhead.com/) Andrew Bell has transformed delicious [Hershey's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-candy-range) Kisses into toothy vampire sculptures just in time for Halloween. These delectable sweets would definitely surprise unsuspecting chocolate addicts, but these spooky snack sculptures can only be found at the [Strange Factory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-fera-fruit-oil) in Albuquerque. This chocolaty monster series is fittingly titled 'Kisses of Death'. Some of these sugary sculptures are found sitting on top of wrappers, while others are just out for display. If these toothy little menaces don't put people in the Halloween spirit, nothing will. Bell created these clever sculptures for a exhibition series called 'Bewitching III'. While these blood-sucking goodies are fun to look at, I'd much rather sink my teeth into a plain old fashion piece of chocolate this Halloween. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Spooky Food Art:** Creating toothy vampire sculptures out of popular treats offers a unique and unexpected twist to traditional food art. - **Holiday-themed Snacks:** Designing Halloween-themed snacks like 'Kisses of Death' provides a fresh and playful option for celebrating the holiday season. - **Interactive Food Experiences:** Displaying chocolate sculptures on top of wrappers creates an immersive and interactive experience for consumers at the Strange Factory in Albuquerque. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore innovative ways to transform popular snacks into artistic and visually appealing products. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can utilize food as a medium to create unique and interactive experiences that resonate with consumers. - **Entertainment and Events:** The entertainment and events industry can incorporate food art exhibitions, like the 'Bewitching III' series, to enhance visitor experiences and drive engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Halloween Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-halloween-collection.md) - [Spooky Halloween Candy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-peanut-butter-skeletons.md) - [Spooky Specialty Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delysia-chocolatier.md) - [Playful Halloween Candy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-candy-range.md) - [Halloween-Only Candy Bar Varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-halloween.md) - [Collectible-Inspired Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palm-bites.md) - [Gourmet Halloween-Themed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-halloweenthemed-chocolates.md) - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md) - [Anime-Themed Chocolate Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheyskisses-pokmon.md)
