They look cool but do chocolate and rock candy even go together?

how do you eat that

Not really, it's just a neat experiment.

You pick up an entire half, tip it to your mouth, and gulp down the liquid sugar sloshing around inside.

Pretty neat

The geologist portion of me drools every time I see this.

they should have drilled out one end and let it drain for a couple days before doing the reveal.

So can anyone explain how he did it ? I'd love to do it on a smaller scale

Chocolate candy is loaded with sugar, so what's a little more?

the textures don't work together

The webm explains it pretty well all by itself. Haven't you ever made your own rock candy crystals?

The difficulty would be in getting supersaturated solutions that weren't so hot that they would melt the chocolate. Might have to keep the chocolate in a refrigerated mold while pouring the sugar solution in and out.

I would say, however, that he could have accelerated the process by starting with pre-grown rock candy crystals and embedding them all over the inside surface, then doing just a few days of "finishing growth" with saturated sugar solutions to make things look more "natural growth"-like.

make a two chocolate domes, fill one with sugar syrup, melt the rim of the other dome on a flat top stove and place it on top of the filled dome. Let it cool and then just rotate them daily for a few months
