One of the most widely known symbols of Dia de los Muertos is the sugar skull, a candy shared in celebration of the holiday.

This is a sweet bread with many varieties using different colors and designs. But whatever twist you decide to put on it, the traditional bread is one that certainly appeals to the masses.
