Welcome to Day #11 of Chocolate and Halloween wEEKs. My own Halloween chocolate plate would be made up of mostly high-end, mostly dark chocolate miniatures.
Today's Organic Almonds and Sea Salt 72% Cocoa squares from Lake Champlain Chocolates (Burlingame, VT) serve as an example of dark chocolates now available in individual or smaller sized pieces.

The chocolate had a smooth texture and melt and was relatively creamy/buttery.
If you're willing to pay more, these individually wrapped Organic Almonds and Sea Salt 72% Cocoa squares—and other bean-to-bar and single origin mini bars—also make great Halloween treats.
*Umami flavors come from savory edibles high in glutamate, such as cheeses, meats, mushrooms, tomatoes, soy.
