Rock candy was one of the coolest kinds of candy you could eat as a kid, right up there with gummy worms. They made it look like you were eating expensive crystals, and if that wasn't enough for you, it also helped that they were delicious.
Think of every stick of rock candy you have ever eaten and then forget about it, because one 20-year-old baking and pastry student at the Culinary Institute of America has created the most stunning and realistic "rock candy" you'll ever see.

According to an Insider video about the project, Yeatts and Wilcox poured tempered chocolate into egg-shaped molds. They had to rotate the eggs every day in an attempt to control the growth of the crystals. The crystals themselves were made with concentrated sugar syrup.
"During the process, you don't know what's going on inside the eggs," Yeatts told Insider. "You know they're growing, but you don't really know what they're going to look like until you crack them open."

The results are simply stunning. We never knew that we could have a favorite geode, but this sugar-based one is it.
