Ever wish you could just gift someone a creepily-realistic chocolate version of a slimy sea creature?

Now you can, with these chocolate eels. It’s almost hard to believe that they’re really edible candy, but it seems that Cake For Breakfast — a company created by UK-based chocolatier (and cake-maker/baker, sculptor, and painter) Chris Verraes — has done a superior job of disguising the smooth snake-like eel.

To be honest, we don’t really know how tasty these candy creatures would be, but on the brightside, don’t they just scream “perfect Christmas gift!”
