Four Italians who usually make igloos out of snow, have recently created the world’s first chocolate igloo at the Eurochocolate fair in Italy. The chocolate igloo weighed a whopping 7,937 pounds, was 5.4 feet high, was constructed in just 23 hours, and was made of some 330 dark chocolate bricks.

Seems a waste of perfectly good chocolate to me. No word as to whether this igloo attracts or repels polar bears. The polar bears might look at it as a delicacy. Chocolate on the outside and humans in the middle! Who can resist? What would you do for a Klondike bar?

Thanks to Dan for the tip!
