These look so freaking delicious. They'd be even better if they were hollowed out and then sealed up again so the Nutella blast was a surprise. I've got some fruit engineering work to do.

How many tiny chocolate fudge cakes with peppermint icing do you think you could eat in one sitting? Two, three, even FOUR? I think I'd have a hard time with even one considering how adorable they are. I'm a sucker for the chocolate peppermint combo, but I think these little cakes could conquer me.

This company in Iceland makes chocolates to emulate mountains that they have in their very midst! White chocolate glaciers, raspberry lava, craggy chocolate shells. Edible art!

Martha says: "My cousin Rosa turned 6, and to celebrate her mom made this lovely garden cake and had all the party goers help plant a garden!"

Oops, sometimes I'm not paying attention and then before you know it I've got something in my mouth. I'm like a toddler.

Sometimes the universe sends you not-so-subtle hints about what you should be doing with your time. I think this means I should be spending more time molding tiny household appliances out of fondant, right? Let's just say that's what this is about.

I know most of us here are a bit too young to have experienced a proper soda fountain chocolate malt with a paper straw, but the evocative Norman Rockwell-esque image endures and fills us with nostalgia nonetheless. If only I could drink a cupcake.

Ever wonder what Saturn tastes like? How about Jupiter? These chocolate planets are about as close as you're going to get.

These snacks take Pocky to a whole new level. Let's have a Pocky decorating party!

Even if you're spending today alone, treat yourself to something sweet and luxurious. Splurge a little!

Our fair submitter said she made these sweet treats for her daughter's "Night Owl" party. Amazing! I remember being in 6th grade and having slumber parties where we stayed up all night jacked up on sugar playing truth or dare and talking about boys until the sun came up. What happened to those days? I need to have a slumber party. Maybe this awesome mom will make me an owl cake too!

I'm sorry to make breakfast so traumatic but this little bear just BEGGED me to have his plea for mercy posted on the site. I can't promise that be escaped unscathed but you can help prevent atrocities like this in the future. Only eat foods shaped like inanimate objects!

The thought of these chocolates having an extra crunchy candy shell to emulate the experience of biting into a real, giant ladybug would be kind of amazing. I know that's not what these chocolates are really about but I'm into expanding horizons here.
