These chocolate LEGO blocks let you build anything you want, then eat it

Judging by the familiar studs and bricklike appearance, these LEGO creations appear good enough to eat... Oh wait, they are!

That's because these LEGO-like pieces by designer-artist Akihiro Mizuuchi are made of chocolate shaped from specially designed molds, ThisIsColossal.com said.

"Chocolate is first poured into precisely designed moulds that after cooling can be popped out and used as regular LEGOs," it said.

Photos posted on enthusiast site LEGOsaurus.com showed the chocolates in different colors and brick configurations—as well as the creations made by interlocking the edible bricks.

However, ThisIsColossal.com's Christopher Jobson also noted there is no word on whether the chocolate would immediately melt in a person's hands.

"(T)his is two of the greatest things in the world fused together. If you google around there are numerous attempts at creating various forms of LEGO in chocolate or other food, but this appears to be the most detailed and well-designed of anything out there," he said. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
