A life-size statue of the king has been created from over 17 liters (3.7 gallons) of melted chocolate before the king’s coronation.
The idol, which weighs over 23kg (51lbs), was made using around 2,875 celebration chocolates.
It took four weeks to produce and was shown in the uniform that Charles would wear on 6 May.
Miniature bars of Snickers, Mars, Twix, Milky Way, Galaxy and Bounty were used to decorate the model.
It was created by a team of chocolatiers and model makers for Mars Wrigley, a Slough-based confectionery firm.
It was designed to show a profile view of King Charles III as close as possible to the image that would soon grace stamps, coins and bank notes.
Senior brand manager Emily Owen said: “The team studied hours of footage to capture King’s true likeness and the likeness is uncanny.” ,
