Alas poor Yorick, I knew him...

Staring at a Chocolate Skull stirs something deeply primal in all of us. Perhaps it’s the visual reference to our complicated and on-going (for most of us) process of evolution; our progression from monkey to man. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that you’re looking at 2.5kg of deliciousness. It’s an eloquent and enticing reminder of our own mortality. Our delicious, chocolatey mortality.

Obtained by completely non-nefarious means (don’t ask) these confectionary craniums are moulded on an authentic human skull, meaning each one is mind-blowingly realistic. Available in three mouth-watering flavours of rich, high-quality Belgian chocolate, each skull weighs approximately 2.5kgs. Kept in a cool, dry place the Chocolate Skulls are edible for up to a year; making them an excellent cranial commodity or a remarkably delicious decoration.

Choose from three different flavours:
White Chocolate rotation
Bone Chocolate rotation
Dark Chocolate rotation
White Chocolate on chocolate

White Chocolate

Milk Chocolate on fruit

Milk Chocolate

Dark Chocolate on salad

Dark Chocolate

Ancient autopsies weren't gentle

Each skull is cast by hand in intricate detail, displaying the ravages of age as well as various timeworn scars and bumps. We asked our Firebox Forensic Team, but they were stumped, meaning that you get to make up your own bony backstory.

So whether you’re an Indiana Jones style adventurer, a fan of freaky phrenology or just planning a tasty tribute to Damian Hirst, no cranial collection is complete without a Chocolate Skull.

Please be aware that 2.5kg of chocolate is about one quarter of the lethal dose for an average human. Yes, that's right, chocolate is actually toxic (thanks to its theobromine content). So, appropriate, really....
Darren Robinson, United Kingdom - 30th December 2012
Firebox says: It is strangely appropriate. Damn that theobromine.Thanks for the heads up Darren - and always enjoy chocolate responsibly!
This is on my shopping list if I ever win the lottery. But I had a look at the ones that are £60 - look like crap from a jelly mold!
Michelle, Belfast - 11th December 2012
This had better be engineered, chocolate flavoured, edible solid gold for this price....
Leah, UK - 4th December 2012
Really good looking product, the chocolate used isn't the best tasting but the looks on people's faces as I ate this on the London Underground was worth every last penny!
Dan, London - 4th December 2012
£350? I'd expect a genuine dodo skull for that.
Gareth Davies, Gravesend - 28th November 2012
Firebox says: Intricate chocolate molding comes at a price! At least you could be assured that the quality will be absolutely awesome.
Why are these so expensive and if its from a real human mould are you sure thats hygenic? How can chocolate be so expensive? Has anyone actually bought one yet?
Kitty, ;), England - 27th November 2012
Firebox says: Hi Kitty! You'll be pleased to know that they are not molded directly from a human skull, just based on it... so that's a relief. This isn't just chocolate, this is art. And yes - we have sold some.
