Our days of eating tiny bricks by accident look to have finally come to an end with the invention of delicious edible LEGO.

Look, don't act so high and mighty, we've all at least tried eating LEGO at one stage or another whether you want to accept it or not, but with little success. Well, forget about those times, because a new and amazing invention that will change lives forever has arrived in the form of chocolate LEGO.

Not only are the delicious bricks edible, but they're also functional, and their creator, Japanese artist and designer Akihiro Mizuuchi, has proven that by using them to build a few little structures, and even a tiny tasty robot. 

The bricks come in a four different varieties, milk, white, dark and pink chocolate, but we imagine they will probably need to be kept in the fridge to avoid melting, although they may be more prone to being gobbled up as a result.
