Miniature sweets in the form of skulls, skeletons, and caskets give evidence of an almost irreverent confrontation with mortality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/search.credoreference.com\/articles\/Qm9va0FydGljbGU6MzE3MzUw?aid=105634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brandes, Stanley. \u201cDAY OF THE DEAD.\u201d Encyclopedia of Mexico: History, Society &amp; Culture, edited by Michael S.
