Honor Traditions With Día De Los Muertos Treats and Treasures
Enjoy our vibrant collection inspired by Mexico’s Day of the Dead.Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a heartfelt celebration of family and tradition — two values that are core to See’s Candies. To honor this beautiful holiday, let’s explore its rich history, vibrant festivities and, naturally, the delightful sweets that come with it.
What Is Día de los Muertos?
Taking place on November 1st and 2nd, Día de los Muertos dates back thousands of years to Central Mexico. This unique holiday serves as a joyous reunion between the living and the spirits of loved ones who have passed. The celebrations include colorful parades, the creation of intricate home altars (ofrendas) and festive feasting.
While chocolate isn’t traditionally associated with the holiday, sweets play a significant role in the celebrations across Mexico. One of the most popular treats is pan de muertos, a sweet, fluffy bread adorned with bone-shaped decorations and dusted with sugar.
Another iconic element is the vibrantly decorated sugar skulls, or calaveras. These skulls, often inscribed with the names of the deceased, are placed on ofrendas as tokens of remembrance. Though not meant for consumption, they symbolize the sweet essence of the holiday. Other traditional Day of the Dead treats include caramel flan, Mexican hot chocolate and candied pumpkins sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
Día de los Muertos gifts are also exchanged among the living during this festive time. Offering food, drinks and flowers to family and friends is a cherished tradition.
