Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 30-Foot Edible Tanenbaum for Charity by Patrick Roger

— December 2, 2010 — Social Good
My sweet tooth is tingling after checking out the Chocolate Christmas Tree by French chocolatier Patrick Roger. This enormous and edible tanenbaum took four tonnes of chocolate and a month's worth of work to make.

The Chocolate Christmas Tree is both delicious and philanthropic, as pieces of it are set to be auctioned off at a French telethon benefiting neuromuscular diseases. Check out the time-lapse video above to see just how this chocolaty tree came to be.
