LONDON -- The age-old sarcastic expression "as useful as a chocolate teapot," has always been a brilliant quip for telling someone they're a bit rubbish. But, someone has gone and turned this idiom into a real-life, delectable chocolate teapot.

Handmade in Britain from dark chocolate, the teapot can be used to create a thick hot chocolate drink when filled with hot water and cocoa powder. If you're feeling more indulgent, add more hot water to create a chocolate fondue.

Weighing 600g with a gloss finish, you could easily mistake this teapot for a piece of crockery. That is, until you pour hot water in it.

You can get your hands on the single-use teapot for £24.99 ($35.38) from Firebox.com (unfortunately, it's only available in the UK)

Now all we need is an edible cup and saucer.
