An English chocolatier has created a new Easter icon. The Cumberbunny ($70) is a hybrid creature that stands 10½ inches tall from its toes to its ear tips and atop its rabbit body sits the head of actor Benedict Cumberbatch. The bunny's creator, Jen Lindsey-Clark, constructed a life-size chocolate statue of Cumberbatch just last year, and she recently decided that the 39-year-old star of Sherlock and The Imitation Game deserved an edible tribute that more fans could enjoy — including those in the U.S. The new confection is glazed in 22-karat gold luster dust and shipped in a white warren box.
