For all of the chocolate lovers out there, you can now indulge in your favourite sweets while learning a thing or two about real geological structures. There are four models of the edible mountain-inspired chocolates, each carrying a different flavour for your sweet tooth preference. The chocolate mountains are designed to resemble the glaciers found in Iceland. Among the mout-watering ingredients are caramel to represent magma, almonds, macadamia nuts, sugar-roasted coffee beans, and [pistacho cream filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kataifi-breton-egg) to name a few.
