Playing with building blocks has never been more fun thanks to chocolate LEGO, or more delicious. Although playtime will be significantly reduced since people will be eating each block as they come. Yet those who have a little more self-restraint will be able to make some interesting chocolate LEGO sculptures. Perhaps even forming something significant to give to a loved one as a gift or a token of affection.
Created by illustrator and designer Akihiro Mizuuchi, the chocolate LEGO are safe to eat and come in four different colors: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and what appears to be a strawberry flavor. Available in a variety of sizes, the chocolate LEGO can really be used to build different items. To make them, chocolate is poured into moulds and then cooled.
