Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Coffin Templates:
   Start by drawing the shape of a coffin on a piece of cardboard. The coffin should be 10 cm long and 6 cm wide. This will serve as a template for your sweet coffins.

2. Slice the Sponge Cake:
   Cut the sponge cake into two layers. Then, slice each layer horizontally to create thinner layers of cake.

3. Prepare the Apricot Jam:
   Sift the apricot jam through a fine mesh sieve to remove any chunks and ensure a smooth consistency.

4. Assemble the Coffins:
   Place the sponge cake layers on a wire rack. Melt the 20g of dark chocolate by chopping it and gently melting it in a double boiler or in the microwave. Mix the melted chocolate until smooth and glossy. Pour the chocolate glaze over each coffin-shaped sponge cake, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it set for a few minutes.

5. Create the Biscuit Tombstones:
   For the biscuit gravestones, trim the top corners of each biscuit to give them a more tombstone-like shape. Next, make a simple water icing by mixing powdered sugar with two teaspoons of boiling water. Stir until you have a smooth, dense icing. Cover each biscuit with the icing and let them dry completely on a wire rack.

6. Decorate the Tombstones:
   Melt the remaining 150g of dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted, transfer it into a piping bag. Use the melted chocolate to write “RIP” on each biscuit to create the epitaphs for your tombstones.

7. Assemble the Coffins and Tombstones:
   Now that the coffins and tombstones are ready, place small rectangular bowls upside down on your work surface. Cover each with a colorful paper napkin for added decoration. Place one of the chocolate-glazed coffins on each bowl, then carefully position a biscuit tombstone on top of each coffin.

8. Final Touches:
   To finish, decorate the top of each coffin with delicate wafer flowers or any other spooky edible decoration of your choice. This adds a beautiful touch to your Halloween Sweet Coffins.

9. Serve and Enjoy:
   Once all the components are in place, these spooky sweets are ready to be served. Whether for a Halloween party or as a fun family treat, these Sweet Coffins are sure to thrill everyone with their delicious layers and eerie design.
