These beautiful colored pencils are actually chocolates made by product design firm nendo in collaboration with Tsujiguchi Hironobu of Chocolat de H, a famous chocolatier in Tokyo. Each pencil is a different blend of chocolates, from mild to bitter. The kit even comes with a pencil sharpener that can be used to create shavings to decorate desserts with. Amazing!
