The Dude from The Big Lebowski is being immortalized as a dessert in the delectable Twice the Vice Helluva Caucasian Chocolates.
Twice the Vice is a company known for marrying chocolates with hard liquor that range from whiskey to tequila. What's interesting though is that this time, they've gone for an actual cocktail. For their Helluva Caucasian Chocolates they've created a White Russian flavor, which happens to be The Dude's favorite drink. Each of the pieces features the iconic slacker's face that ties the whole theme together. Twice the Vice has created nine pieces for each box, which is actually a nod to the number of White Russians that The Dude drinks throughout the movie.
Chocolate and alcohol: what more could you want? If you're a Big Lebowski fan, you'll be happy to enjoy the Helluva Caucasian Chocolates.
