When I was a kid, I used to play with my pencil shavings. I would sharpen all my pencils, especially the colored ones, and then, my hands and brain would just start to create some fun art works!
But, never have I ever become so interested with pencil shavings than this time, when they are made with edible chocolate! YES! CHOCOLATE!
"Chocolate-pencils" is a yummy genius idea of the two praiseworthy men, Iron Chef champion pâtissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu, a master of desserts and man behind the famous dessert shops in Tokyo, Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolate De H. and Oki Sato, also known as Nendo, an architect who has lots of crazy awesome ideas and designs, always giving people a small "!" moment. These two crazy artists turn dessert plates into painting canvases with their "chocolate pencils" which come in a variety of cocoa blends that vary in intensity, just like real pencils. The tempting pallette, if I may say, comes with a special sharpener to grate chocolate onto desserts.
For me, pencil filings are categorized under art materials. But when we'd talk about chocolate pencil filings, it's a different delectable story! Indeed, every dessert plate would become art masterpieces when touched by an artist who, in addition, would use Chocolate-pencils to give every piece the finishing touch. It is as they say, "Save the best for last!"

YEY! This is my first blog ever and it's chocolate!
