Humans Skulls Recreated in Chocolate
To me these solid chocolate skulls are an example of both confectionary making and art. They are cast from REAL human skulls and come in a choice of chocolate including Fair Trade 80 per cent cocoa. There is also their bone chocolate – blended Belgian milk and white chocolates, resembling the colour of freshly cleaned human bones.

A Man Better Than Chocolate?
Picture this: a man and woman came back to his apartment after a date. The house is nice and clean, then he mixes a margarita … and when her neck is a little stiff, Mr. Man offers a little shiatsu massage to make her feel better.
Can this be it? Has she finally found a man better than chocolate?
Then she turns on some music …

Inhaling Chocolate
French chef Thierry Marx and Harvard professor of biomedical engineering David Edwards have invented a way to consume chocolate without calories. Le Whif is an aerosol inhaler that provides a puff of fine chocolate powder every time you get the cocoa urge. Each inhaler contains about 200 milligrams of chocolate powder, less than 1 calorie of chocolate, with four puffs per container.
To use, you place the device between your lips and inhale and the particles land on your tongue and the sides of your mouth, where you can taste them best. When you eat a chocolate bar, in contrast, much of the chocolate passes quickly through your mouth without spending much time on your taste buds. Le Whif allows you to inhale and savor. It comes in chocolate, chocolate mint and chocolate raspberry.

The World's Largest Chocolate Fountain
Photo: John Locher
In 2005, pastry chef Jean-Philippe Maury created this enormous 25-tiered chocolate fountain for the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas. It’s 27 feet tall and circulates 120 quarts of chocolate per minute:
It wasn’t, you see, quite as simple as constructing a waterfall.
“Water doesn’t change,” Maury said. “Chocolate is complicated.”
It must be at the proper temperature to flow properly, for starters. Then there’s the issue of the chocolate’s viscosity, which affects the flow. And the viscosity of chocolate changes with every little bit of moisture in the air.
“The envy of chocolate is humidity,” Maury said. With an increase in the humidity, cocoa butter and coconut oil must be added to the 2,100 pounds of chocolate in the tank. Maury takes viscosity readings every two or three days.
The 25 glass vessels from which the chocolate flows are each unique, and each handmade in Montreal. Maury and Oliver tested the system there for seven months.

Chocolate Helps You Do Better in Math
Bad at math? Try chocolate! At least that’s what researchers Emma Wightman, David Kennedy and colleagues found in the latest (and yummiest) scientific study:
Mental arithmetic became easier after volunteers had been given large amounts of compounds found in chocolate, called flavanols, in a hot cocoa drink.
They were also less likely to feel tired or mentally drained, the findings, presented at the British Psychological Society annual conference in Brighton show.

Chocolate Covered Peeps
I know most people love Peeps or hate them – no grey area. I’m one that loves them, but I like to cut a little slit in the package and let them get stale for a few days. Mmm, crunchy Peeps. For those of you that like a pure shot of sugar in the shape of a chick, here’s a way to step up the game: chocolate. Craftster user notyourstar has a good tutorial on how to do it. Seems self-explanatory, but she has a few good tips (freeze your Peeps first, otherwise they will melt when they hit the hot chocolate).
‘Course, you could always just buy them.

Cadbury Creme Egg Deaths
My sweet tooth must be in full effect tonight because I somehow keep stumbling upon posts about donuts and cupcakes and Cadbury Creme Eggs. Last year, Cadbury held a contest for fans to submit videos of the delicious chocolatey goodness going splat. They called it their “Here today, goo tomorrow” campaign, and some of them are pretty awesome. Check out this Rube Goldberg contraption – it’s really complicated. My favorite part is the Smashing Creme Eggs band.
But fans of Andy Samberg and SNL digital shorts will appreciate this one – it’s a tribute to the “Dear Sister” short.

Oreo Cupcakes With Internal Milk Glass
Sweet lovers like myself will love this brilliant concept on The Cupcake Project blog. It’s an Oreo cupcake with Oreo frosting, topped with home-made Oreos and served with a glass of milk built inside. This ingenious dessert marvel is made possible with the help of those delightful chocolate liqour cups. I totally want to make these myself, if you do as well, let me know how they turn out.

Human Vending Machine
If I put my money in a machine and a person popped up to give me my candy, I’m quite sure I’d leave my money and the candy and run as fast as my legs could carry me. These people seem delighted, though, so maybe it’s just me. If you think like I do, don’t worry – these Kit Kat Human Vending Machines aren’t a new fad; they’re just part of a Nestle advertising campaign.

Melting chocolate bunnies has never been as disturbing or creepy. And don’t get me started on the music used for this video! The creepiest one is the hairdryer scene. Brrrrrrr! Created by the Danish Dutch filmmaker Sander Plug.
