Another tasty party snack for Halloween, a graveyard of peacefully resting chocolate coated pumpkins. These are delicious cinnamon spice soft pumpkin centers coated in homemade chocolate, together melting in your mouth as a sweet delicious delight. Great as popsicles for the children at halloween or just as a day to day snack. The homemade chocolate is easy to to make and super simple and the left over mixture you can add to a mould or plate, throw some fruit and nuts on top and you have the perfect dark chocolate snack, with a flavour of your choosing.
Healthy, sustainable and fair. The best way to celebrate Halloween with friends and family — no toxins in sight.
