Beautiful Food Dye Photography

These surreal photos were taken by Corey Holms using water and ordinary food dye. The beauty really comes from the amazing colors and lovely composition, which I’m sure isn’t easy to control with liquids. See all the gorgeous photos on Flickr or buy prints here.

There’s a Penguin on my Marshmallow

The Telegraph has an amazing gallery of miniature food creations titled Art You Can Eat by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle. Food and tiny figurines are imaginatively photographed to depict real-life settings with a whimsical twist.. like mining for sugar, sushi theft, and crème brûlée fire.

Chocolate ‘Collon’ Melts in Your Mouth

Glico Collon Choco Nuts

$1.89 at veryasia.com

The best way to describe Glico’s Choco Collon is chocolate-filled chocolate Combos. The outer shell is a flaky chocolate tube that, with one easy bite, reveals a delicious creamy chocolate mousse inside. Choco Collon treats are simply delicious and aim to fill that ever-present chocolate craving. Then again, just being able to say “Want to try some Collon?” to your co-workers is reason enough to get them!

Chocolate & Grape Gummy? A Yummy Combination!

Meiji Gummy Choco (Muscat) Candy

Meiji Gummy Choco (Muscat) Candy

$2.79 at amazon.com

Chocolate-covered gummy candy just sounds weird! You’d think it would be incredibly gross.. however! Japanese candy has a knack for being both strangle and very yummy. ‘Gummy Choco’ (read CandyBlog review here) really proves to fulfill both chocolaty and sweet-tooth cravings (I like that sugar is the first ingredient… followed promptly by corn syrup of course, oh well!).

Once the silky milk-chocolate melts in your mouth, a chewy grape-flavored center is revealed – and it actually tastes like grape! (Muscat refers to a sweet floral grape variety). The candy comes in a fun, beating-stick shaped tube and can be eaten with wholehearted gluttony without making you sick (which is really important when you can’t stop yourself). So, put down your Pocky and experience something a little different.
