The Tasty Art of Chocolate & Candy

Watch what you bite into. It might be a priceless chocolate piece of art

Some people may unabashedly crave chocolate and consume it as fast as they can rip away the wrapper. However, by doing so, they miss on some serious creativity and artistic thinking that modern chocolatiers are putting into their products. In this article we'll see some very yummy and eminently edible chocolates and candy... totally not healthy (but you know all about that)

Bitter-sweet medium for a bittersweet art

Horatio Law makes a touching statement in making a life-size digital portraits of Oregon children, adopted from China - from all sorts of candies: jellybeans, lifesavers and m&ms:

What's even more profound, he takes the war & violence images from the world news... and replicates them with candy:

Twin Beans

Jason Mecier uses the media of jellybeans to make some pop-culture commentary. Here are the characters of the "Twin Peaks" popular show:

and some swanky series of art made from the chewing gum packs and wrappers:

We mentioned before the Gummi Bear Chandelier (created by Ya Ya Chou) - surely an amazing thing, provided it would not suddenly drop on your head - enveloping you in a sticky-sweet deathly embrace:

My guess is, that's why they put a similar Gummi Bear rug right under it:

Then all bets are off - as everyone with enough candy (and cash) gets involved!

Missed Manners goes epic (Tolkien in this case), with sweeeeeet attention to detail:

Well, by now you might feel overwhelmed by all this creativity - and wishing for a simple pleasure to bite into NORMAL candy and chocolate, without being afraid to ruin an expensive and unique work of art?


Indulge in a Memory Lane

These sites are going retro and offering the chocolate and candy treats straight from our schooldays' memory.
