Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 8 oz white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted, about 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Using a small skull silicone mold, carefully spoon the melted white chocolate into each cavity, filling them to the top. Tap the mold gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  3. Step 3: Refrigerate the mold for 15 minutes until the skulls set and become firm.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup cherry preserves with 2 drops red food coloring and stir until evenly mixed and glossy.
  5. Step 5: Remove the white chocolate skulls from the mold by gently pressing from the back. Using a toothpick, dot the cherry glaze onto the eye sockets of each skull, then place a mini chocolate chip on each cherry dot to create pupils, forming glowing red eyes.
  6. Step 6: Place the decorated skulls back on the parchment and refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes to set the glaze before serving.
