Email
Ingredients
1
pound
popped quinoa or popped amaranth (amaranth cereal)
1
pound
honey
1/2
cup
of sugar
1
cup
of water
10
skull
molds
Instructions
You should be able to purchase quinoa and amaranth which has already been popped in local markets, especially Hispanic specialty markets. If not, you can pop the grains yourself using a dry pan–like popcorn. Be sure to pop only a single layer of the grains at a time so they do not burn.
In a saucepan, heat the sugar, honey and water and bring to a boil. Add the popped amaranth or quinoa and mix with a spoon to make a paste.
Spoon the paste into the skull molds and press down to fill completely. Remove the skulls from the molds when they have cooled and feel set. Add eyes to your skulls using black sesame seeds or raisins, if desired.
