Handmade Ichthyo-Chocolate
Valentine's Day chocolate from Mary Anning.
This chocolate is modeled after the head of the ichthyosaurus Mary Anning is said to have excavated during her life. You can feel Anning's playful attention to detail from its realistic yet adorably deformed shape. The finely detailed package is stylish as well, giving off an air of class one might expect from a luxury chocolatier.
If you heard she'd made it all by hand, you might wonder whether she's in love...and you'd be mistaken to do so.
