The Spanish studio MUT Design recently debuted a beautiful new tile collection that is inspired by a sweet treat. While many of us enjoy eating chocolate bars, these designers have managed to turn the beloved snack into a decorative piece of home decor.

The Onza tile collection from MUT Design's Harmony by Peronda range features three distinct designs that can be combined to create intricate raised patterns. The first pattern reassembles that of a chocolate bar and consists of rectangular grids that form numerous small squares. The second pattern is comprised of three rectangular sections and the third boast smaller, slender frames. Each pattern features the same corner section, which allows the [ceramic tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uu-tiles-collection) to be slotted together. The result is an intricate ceramic wall display that is sure to make viewers hungry for something sweet.
