LONDON -- He weighs more than 88 pounds, stands at 6 feet tall and is made out of 500 melted bars of thick, luxurious Belgian chocolate. Meet Benedict Chocobatch.
UKTV recreated the Sherlock star using hollow chocolate just days before Easter, the biggest chocolate event on the UK calendar, in order to coincide with the launch of its new station focused on drama programmes.
Cumberbatch won over over other British actors such as David Tennant, Idris Elba, Sean Bean and Damian Lewis in a poll to be temporarily incarnated in chocolate.
Chocobatch, which was inspired by the actor's red carpet appearances, was carved in detail by a team of eight who worked to replicate his tailored red carpet look.
"The striking thing about Benedict is that he's got quite a thin face but he's got a large head," one of the sculptors, Tim Simpson, said. "So trying to get that look right is quite tricky."
Here's a closer look at how it was made:
Looks delicious to us.
