Black and White Sugar Skulls Make Perfect Halloween Party Treats

07 October, 2014

If you're looking for the perfect Halloween treat then get ready to scare your guests and the local children with these skull shaped sugar cubes from Japan.

They’re available in a range of black and white and are made from Wasanbon - a premium Japanese sugar traditionally made in the areas of Tokushima and Kagawa.

Created by the artist Nobumasa Takahashi, the skull cubes come in a pack of 18 with 9 white and 9 black skulls.

They will make the perfect table piece for your halloween party and anyone wondering how they managed to make sugar black, the company say the sugar is naturally coloured using bamboo charcoal.

A set of spooky sugar will cost you $23.
