I printed chocolate on a 3D printer and ate it

At least it’s not cheap or easy enough to tempt most people yet
(Web Desk) - I hate to be the bearer of bad-for-the-waistline news, but yes — you can now buy a 3D printer that prints chocolate.
The Cocoa Press has been in development for an entire decade. Now, it’s finally here, and I’m pretty sure it’s singlehandedly responsible for one of the pounds I put on over Christmas.
At least it’s not cheap or easy enough to tempt most people yet.
This holiday season, I took delivery of a $3,995 prebuilt printer — you can DIY it for $1,750 or less — and thirty sticks of perfect-fit chocolate with which to fulfill my delicious aims.
I attached the printer’s screen, went through setup, popped a dark chocolate “cocoa core” into a cartridge, added a washable plunger cap, preheated the chocolate for 30 minutes, hit start annnnnd... promptly watched the nozzle attempt to eat its silicone baking mat.
