Vintage Devil Chocolate Mold

 While looking for something totally off-topic, I stumbled across these photos, curated from eBay by the Antique Chocolate Mold website. They are from an eBay listing that went up last August featuring what the seller is calling a rare example of a Bermann vintage  Halloween chocolate mold in the shape of a Devil or werewolf.

I'm not seeing werewolf...but these spooky little guys are definitely demonic looking! I would use these for Halloween, of course...but then I would also use them in December and call them little Krampuses! I think they'd easily be able to pass. Hell, I'd use them year round. They're just the right amount of creepy and historically cool. Who wouldn't want to unwrap and eat one of them?

From what I can gather, this vintage chocolate mold sold for around $150, and if its as rare as claimed, that seems like a steal, lol. I couldn't find any additional information on this mold, or even the Bermann Company (spelled the way listed on the actual item). If you know any more about this subject, I would love to hear it! Let me know over at Theresa's Haunted History Facebook page!

Ghost Bark

If you need a quick and easy homemade treat to serve at a party or bring to a social function, chocolate bark is my choice. It's sooo simple: melt some chocolate, spread some chocolate, add in some festive sprinkles or candy pieces if you want, chill, break and serve. It takes no time or effort, looks fancy, and people will think you've been channeling Martha Stewart or something.

Since I'm such a big fan of the bark, I was thrilled to see this ghostly version over at The Simple Sweet Life! Obviously, this would be perfect for a Halloween party or event, but since it's just a simple ghost pattern, it's something that I'll be using ALL year long! As a paranormal investigator, I'm often at ghostly-related events where food is served---how cute would THIS be to share?

The photos are from Claire over at the Simple Sweet Life. Please check out her website for the full instructions on how to make this yummy treat, as well as how to make tons of other awesome Halloween goodies!
