The Great Wall Of China In Chocolate

Courtesy NPR Programs: Morning Edition  Tue, 01/19/2010 - 5:23am

It's a massive and delicious marketing ploy that's part of an attraction at the World Chocolate Wonderland trade show opening later this month in Beijing.

Chocolatiers hope to boost the treat's popularity in China, where it is seen mostly as a treat for children. The 33-foot long wall is made of dark chocolate bricks with white chocolate mortar.

And lined with 560 tiny chocolate replicas of the Terracotta Warriors.
