Easter just got a whole lot more appetizing—or horrifying. The jury is still out on this one.

Benedict Cumberbatch has developed a very intense, passionate fan base over the years who have since been dubbed the Cumberbitches. And now the Cumberbuns, who definitely are under the impression that the British star looks good enough to eat, can actually eat him up—in chocolate form.

A British chocolatier created the "Cumberbunny," which features the Sherlock star's face on a bunny body with bunny ears. Cumberbunnies are available in white, milk and dark chocolate and are outfitted with a fancy 22-carat gold bowtie and gold dust. Even in chocolate form The Imitation Game star is award-show ready!

This magical (or scary) treat can be yours for $70 and are sure to kick up your Easter egg hunts several notches.

Chocolatician Jen Lindsey-Clark told London's Evening Standard that she decided to morph the Oscar nominee into bunny form after she saw success with her "Chocobatch" creation, a life-size chocolate figure of the actor. "It was obvious how popular Benedict Cumberbatch is," Clark said, adding "we decided it would be rather fun to make a mini rabbit version so all the die-hard Cumberfans could get a piece of him."

Each bunny takes about three hours to make, but sadly Cumberbatch won't be receiving one of the original creations! But why?

"I'm planning to send one over to his mum but not him," the Chocolatician confessed to Metro UK. "He might think it's weird eating his own face."

We get that.

This isn't the first time Cumberbatch's face has been used in a retail setting. His face also has appeared on Poprageous' crop top and leggings, which are made from a collage of different photos.
