Whether you're decorating for a party or just looking for some fun activities with the family, these chocolate creations will be the highlight of your spooky season.

Let’s dive into some easy, fun, and frightfully delicious ideas for chocolate Halloween decorations that you can make at home.

1. Chocolate Spiderwebs

Chocolate spiderwebs are an easy and striking way to spook up your table or Halloween treats. The best part? All you need is some melted chocolate and parchment paper.

What You’ll Need:

• Rococo’s 62% dark chocolate (or white chocolate for a ghostly effect)
• Piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off
• Parchment paper

How to Make It:

1. Melt the chocolate: Gently melt Rococo’s dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.
2. Draw your webs: Place parchment paper on a flat surface, then pipe the melted chocolate into spiderweb shapes. Start with a small dot in the centre, then draw lines radiating outward. Connect the lines with curved lines to form a web.
3. Let it set: Allow the webs to cool and harden at room temperature, or place them in the fridge to set faster.
4. Decorate: Once set, carefully peel the webs off the parchment paper and use them to decorate cakes, cupcakes, or your Halloween table. They also make a great topper for hot chocolate!

2. Chocolate Halloween Lollipops

Create fun and festive chocolate lollipops shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats. These are perfect for party favours or as edible decorations on a Halloween dessert table.

What You’ll Need:

• Rococo’s milk or dark chocolate
• Halloween-themed silicone moulds (pumpkins, ghosts, bats, etc.)
• Lollipop sticks

How to Make It:

1. Melt the chocolate: Melt Rococo’s milk or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
2. Fill the moulds: Pour the melted chocolate into the silicone moulds, ensuring they are evenly filled. Tap the mould on the counter to release any air bubbles.
3. Add the sticks: Insert lollipop sticks into the moulds before the chocolate sets.
4. Let it set: Allow the lollipops to set at room temperature, or place them in the fridge for quicker results.
5. Decorate or eat: Once fully set, remove the chocolate lollipops from the moulds. You can decorate them further with melted white chocolate, food-safe glitter, or sprinkles to bring your spooky characters to life.

3. Chocolate Skulls Filled with Treats

For a showstopping Halloween decoration, create hollow chocolate skulls that you can fill with small candies, truffles, or even more chocolate! These make for a fun centrepiece and are guaranteed to impress your guests.

What You’ll Need:

• Rococo’s dark chocolate or some plain white chocolate
• Skull-shaped silicone moulds
• Assorted small candies or truffles for filling

How to Make It:

1. Melt the chocolate: Melt Rococo’s white or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
2. Coat the mould: Using a spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of the skull moulds with a layer of melted chocolate. Make sure the coating is even but not too thick.
3. Set the chocolate: Place the moulds in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set. You can repeat this process with a second layer if necessary to make the skulls more sturdy.
4. Assemble the skulls: Once the chocolate has set, carefully remove the skull halves from the moulds. Fill one half with small candies or truffles, then gently heat the edges of the other half and press them together to form a complete skull.
5. Display or break open: Display the chocolate skulls as edible Halloween décor, or break them open for a sweet surprise!
