Chocolate is truly happiness in an edible form. Don’t you agree? Be it in any form- gooey and melted, as a bar, stuffed in a dessert or mixed with nuts, it is simply irresistible. While a simple bar of chocolate can make my day no matter where I am, I wouldn’t mind a rich and unique chocolate dessert ever. We can always indulge in a chocolate pastry, brownie or ice cream, but chefs all across the world are constantly experimenting with the sweet treat to innovate and we are all about it. For instance, did you know that recently a pastry chef and chocolatier made a whole rocket ship out of chocolates?! Yes, you read that absolutely right.

In the video, first, the chef melts tons of chocolate in a tray. Once the chocolate is set, he gives it an elongated horn-like shape, which is then then attached this to a circular chocolate base. For more realistic touch, the chef also adds chocolate 'bubbles' on the base to make it look like the smoke from the rocket. He then paints the entire structure with white edible paint.
