Gearhead Chocolates Convey True Meaning Of Love

Now that you got that pesky dinner taken care of, how about the after dinner chocolates? Nothing says "I love you just a little bit less than my current project car" than a nice set of gearhead chocolates.

Oddly enough, the chocolates look very, very lifelike. I could easily mistake these for some very-rusted over tools and get to work, but these are meant for eating, not working. Included are wrenches, pliers, bolts, nuts and more. The downside is that they are made by the Japanese company Trantz, so first off, who knows how you can get the. And secondly, who knows if these tools are really chocolate. [Frantz]

It'd be really cool if the adjustable wrench adjusted and the pliers...plied?

Can you at least get your wrench with or without nuts...?

The low-fat version is a set of real stainless steel tools with a delicious coating of 70% dark chocolate. First you lick them, then you caress them with your studly hands. Just be sure to practice all that on your Valentine first or she'll question your priorities.

@Bento: Maybe you'd prefer to go for Bob's nuts...?

Are the chocolates actually drop-forged?

A little off topic, but I was in a candy shop earlier this summer. They had car shaped chocolates, but for some reason, the choices were between a 2nd-gen Camaro, a 280Z, and a Dodge Ram Van. I thought I had stumbled into 1979. I was mostly ok with that.

2 tablespoons of cinnamon,
and 2 or 3 egg whites,
a half a stick of butter, melted.
Stick it all in a bowl baby,
stir it with a wooden spoon,
mix in a cup of flour.
You''l be in heaven soon

Say everybody have you seen my tools they're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up, just stick my tools in your mouth.

OOOOoooh! Suck on my chocolate salty tools,
put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em.

@UDMAN: Is it melting in your mouth or your hands?

Bet they're metric though.... "hey wanna see my 255mm chocolate covered tool-?" (somehow that just doesn't sound as impressive as it should...) but hey, maybe it works with eurotrashgirls...

If the chocolate bolt's head melts, do you have a chocolate Dremel to deal with getting it out?

@BartMack: using inches might be more impressive in that situation... i imagine some metric countries don't even bother teaching our system.
"five inches? that's, like, 30 centimeters, right?"
"if you say so..."
