Morbid Candy

The Chocolate Newborn Hoax

Oh my God, these fake chocolate newborn babies are so realistic and creepy!

The collection features various positions and styles; yawning babies, sleeping babies, boys, girls...

I believe they would be the perfect treat to scare those annoying kids next Halloween!

Sadly, these little babies are really just an old hoax. They are porcelain, not chocolate... yet still fascinating!

Implications - It is hard to imagine the type of person who would actually eat one of these realistic babies if they were actual chocolate treats. They would most definitely cost a whole lot more than your typical chocolate bar. As much as anyone could love chocolate, it would be hard to bring yourself to eat something that looks so lifelike.
