Mum finds blade inside daughter's Halloween chocolate
A horrified mother has shared pictures of a blade she claims was inside a chocolate bar her daughter received at an early trick-or-treating event at the weekend.
In a Facebook post shared on Sunday night, Kassandra Ringler, from the US state of Indiana, said she found the sharp blade inside a Milky Way wrapper that appeared to have been tampered with.
The woman’s daughter noticed the chocolate bar’s wrapper was open a little bit, so she unravelled it and found the blade inside, she wrote on Facebook.
In the post, she shared two photos of a broken Milky Way bar, which appeared to have a point blade sticking out. Ms Ringler said there was even rust on it.
The concerned mother contacted police to report what she had found.
