My craving for chocolate just ended!

Forget it! I don't even want a Twix Bar now!

According to <A target="_blank" href="http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/07/stephen-j-shanabrook-food-art/">Eat Me Daily</A>, Shanabrook says the truffles skate "very close to the edge, the forbidden place for artists." </P></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/cliff-kuang/design-innovation/worlds-most-horrifying-candy"><P>Shanabrook, who worked in a chocolate factory as a kid, wasn't done there.
