# Chocolate Weapons Explosively Sweet Treats Shaped like Guns, Ammo and Grenades By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-01-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-weapons References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Chocolate_Weapons_Chocolate_Guns_and_Ammo--Other--Gear.html) & [chocolateweapons](http://www.chocolateweapons.com) Chocolate Weapons carries a variety of weapon-shaped chocolate items including ammo in clever packaging. The makers claim that their weaponry will provide the best, ‘near death by chocolate’ experience of your life. Handguns are available in [solid milk chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-bar) or hollow core. You can eat [chocolate peanut-butter filled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocha-melts) 12 gauge shotgun shells or munch bullets straight from the ammo can. If those choices don’t pull your pin, try the chocolate grenade. I’m anxious for an AK-47 myself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Weapon-shaped Treats:** Creating sweets in the shape of weapons can cater to the unique preferences of consumers and offer a creative twist on traditional treats. - **Novelty Food Products:** Incorporating playful and unexpected shapes and designs into food items can differentiate a brand and attract new customers. - **Unconventional Desserts:** Experimenting with unusual ingredients and shapes in dessert-making can offer a new level of excitement and engagement for consumers, and pave the way for new dessert trends. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can take advantage of consumers' desire for novelty items by creating unique and playful food products, such as weapon-shaped chocolates. - **Gift and Novelty:** The gift and novelty industry can capitalize on the popularity of unconventional and playful items by featuring product lines that cater to consumers looking for creative and unique gift ideas. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate unconventional dessert items, such as weapon-shaped chocolates, into their offerings as a way to add fun and unique touches to events and stand out from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Inspired Chocolate Vapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vapezinhos-de-chocolate.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lobster.md) - [Pleasure Toy-Inspired Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenga-chocolates.md) - [Animal-Shaped Chocolate Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hames-solid-milk-chocolate-shapes.md) - [Ramen-Infused Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramen-and-chocolate.md) - [Chocolate Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compartes-chocolate-chess.md) - [Suggestive-Visual Celebratory Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-chocolates-1.md) - [Rock-Like Chocolate Chunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocoboulders.md) - [Bite-Sized Dubai-Style Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-gift-box.md)
