What are you getting yourself for Easter? Couple of eggs, maybe a chocolate bunny if you’re feeling crazy?

So nothing like a 40-kilogram, six-foot tall, hand-carved, incredibly lifelike statue of Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch made out of 500 bars of solid Belgian milk chocolate? Nothing like that? Because if not, it doesn’t sound like you’re doing Easter very well, is all.

This deeply erotic creation comes courtesy of UK TV network…UKTV (name’s fairly self-explanatory) to spruik the launch of their new drama channel. The station ran a web poll of picturesque male drama leads like Cucumberboodle, David Tennant and Homeland‘s Damian Lewis to see which one viewers most wanted to see objectified in chocolate form.

Since it’s probably too late to buy a plane ticket and fly to England in time to eat this thing, feel free to Photoshop your adoring face onto this woman’s adoring face. I’m sure she won’t mind.
