Japanese Company Makes Sliced Chocolate

Posted on by

Your cheese (or cheese “product”) comes in convenient, individually-wrapped slices. So why not do the same with chocolate? That’s the thinking behind Japanese company Bourbon’s “Nama Chocolate”. Each slice is about 2mm thick (0.08inches) and offers “a rich, creamy confectionary that’s not as sweet as fudge, but more intense in flavor than ordinary milk chocolate”. You’re free to make pretty shapes with it, or simply slap it between two pieces of bread. It’ll save you the step of having to spread your chocolate, and gives you a bit more freedom to do stuff that you wouldn’t normally be able to do with regular hard chocolate. It’s 3,240 yen, or US$27 for bulk packs.

Solid Chocolate Nike Air Max 90 Sneaker: Just Chew It

Posted on by

I know there are a ton of people who collect Nike sneakers like they were baseball cards. I don’t get it myself, but chocolate Nikes I could collect. This delicious Nike was made by a design student in London. It is a solid chocolate Air Max 90.

Milan Miladinov created the solid chocolate sneaker for the running shoes 25th anniversary. First he made a silicon mold of the shoe. Then he painted the inside of the mold to get every line and detail of the shoe, poured a bunch of liquid chocolate into it, waited 15 hours, then a solid chocolate sneaker was born.

How could he resist eating it long enough to take these pictures? If I made this no one would believe me because there would be no evidence.

3D Printing Heads to the Kitchen

Posted on by

I have seen a lot of really cool stuff come out of 3D printers. But all of that was just a morsel compared to the crazed creations the ChefJet Pro from 3D Systems can churn out using food.

Instead of plastic, the machine, which looks like a microwave oven, uses raw materials like sugar and frosting to output its candies and edible decorations. First you load the exact dimensions of what you want into the ChefJet. It then takes that information, mathematically slices it up, and then recreates it by putting a series of very thin layers on top of one another so that the 3D likeness can be as precise as possible.

They have a bunch of examples of what their invention can churn out featured on their site, some of which are bizarrely intricate. My favorite is a sinuous snow white sugar skull that’s made to dissolve in a cocktail (Keith Richards would love it).

But if you really want to see something amazing, watch their video in which they collaborated with Ford to make a small chocolate candy replica of the 2015 Mustang. It will blow your doors off.
