At first when I heard about an edible Instagram product I thought…InstaGrahams? But nope. No clever puns. Just beautiful, delicious chocolate.
The new service Cocoagraph, from 3D Fine Arts major Rae Vittorelli, merges chocolate and photography–two of our favorite things too–turning any of your photos at all into all perfectly edible, artisanal chocolate.
You can send a jpeg or scan, but of course Instagram and Hipstamatic photos will work too, and the vintage filters on them probably lend themselves to better quality of the final product. Not that it will be around long enough for you to stare at it in too much detail. As for the chocolate itself, it sounds amazing. Choose from a 72% Belgian Dark (my fave), a high-end Biafra White Chocolate, or a 40% Belgian Milk Chocolate. There’s even an organic, GMO-free cacao.
The prices aren’t bad at all – check the store and you’ll find custom Cocoagraph chocolates starting at $14. I think I just found the best holiday gift ever.
Have your photos printed on chocolate online at Cocoagraph and save 5% off your order if you subscribe to their email list. Each order takes up to 7 days to create.

Yum. This may be enough to finally get me to join Instagram. (Yes, I’m not on Instagram. I am lame. Plus I have an Android phone, so it wasn’t an option for a long time. And I am lazy.)
Why on Earth would you want to eat a photo of your family, friends or co-workers? Maybe a photo of a sunrise or the moon etc, but photos of people. That’s too much for me!
