If you like chocolate, have ever seen LEGOs, played with LEGOs, or know someone else who has played with LEGOs, then this post is for you!

From www.thisiscolossal.com: Japanese Illustrator, designer and father of twins, Akihiro Mizuuchi, designed a modular system for creating edible chocolate LEGO bricks. Chocolate is first poured into precisely designed moulds that after cooling can be popped out and used as regular LEGOs.

It’s hard to determine exactly how functional they are, it seems like he had success in building a number of different things, though we can only imagine how quickly they might melt in your hands, but that’s beside the point; this 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 else out there. (photos via Legosaurus)
