Traditional Sugar and Chocolate Skulls are a staple during Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration. No Altar is complete without one of these festive decorations. Originally, human skulls were used as trophies and offerings to Prehispanic Gods to announce the end of life's cycle. However, with the arrival of Spanish invaders, these rituals were deemed extreme and prohibited. To keep the tradition alive, our ancestors replaced human skulls with sugar skulls. Today we use them to honor loved ones by writing their names on them and savoring a sweet treat =)
