For Convenient Chocolate Shavings, Try Chocolate Pencils

Posted by Robyn Lee, February 27, 2008 at 10:45 AM

Japanese architect Oki Sato has teamed up with patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu of Mont St. Clair and Le Chocolat de H to create what may be the only dessert to feature something you may find in your office supplies cabinet. Their new chocolate pencils come with an accompanying "pencil shaver" that allows the diner to shave chocolate onto their dessert. [via Cool Hunting]

It looks so cool! But my hands are so warm, they'd melt through the pencils in seconds while shoving them into the sharpener. =\

I'd need soemthign to hold them with as well, but I think it's a great idea. I'd love to have some on had for dessert decorating!

Mmmm, why didn't they have these when I was still taking standardized tests? They're clearly superior to #2 pencils.

What a novel idea! Maybe the chocolate pencils need to be frozen so it wouldn't melt so fast?

So logical, yet something that only a few people could come up with...

The human brain really works in strange ways. Wonder where I can get some of those?
