Q-Pot is an accessory brand that's known for making a variety of [chocolate-themed products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wax-chocolate-bars) and now a collaboration with [Sharp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-aquos), Q-Pot has created the Melty Chocolate TV design, inspired by a melting bar of chocolate.

The TV is not actually made of chocolate, but the carved dark walnut frame around the TV might have you doubting this. To show off just how sweet the television really is, there are also little golden ants that can be spotted around the frame.

Sharp x Q-Pot's Melty Chocolate TV also comes with a removable drippy chocolate detail made out of wood. When the TV is powered off, it can be turned into a mirror so that it looks more like a [beautiful piece of home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gallery-tv) than a piece of technology.
