Blood-Oozing Candies

These Eerie Chocolate Treats are Filled with Blood Red Caramel Sauce

— September 18, 2015 — Lifestyle
Agency Geoffrey Bloom designed the creepy zombie packaging for the brand NECCO's red caramel-filled chocolate treats. All of the milk chocolate candies are designed to look like brains, hands and hearts, which are then filled blood-like red caramel sauce that oozes out like real guts.

These frightful chocolates are then individually wrapped and placed in a suitable packaging box adorned with a zombie face. The brand has titled these creations 'Skybar Zombie Food,' which suits the overall grotesque and intriguing nature of the edible body parts.

With Halloween just around the corner, these sweet little packages of caramel-filled chocolates will make the perfect addition to trick-treat bags. While the treats might be a bit much for some consumers, others will happily embrace the unique design of these sugary candies.
