If you've had a happy childhood, chances are the photo next to this article and the one below will at least make you tear up a bit. Provided that your first years of life were spent eating tons of chocolate and playing with Legos.

The photos prove that the Romans and the ancient Egyptians were right, and that gods not only really and truly exist, but that they also like to gift humanity with really amazing stuff every once in a while.

If case you haven't figured it out just yet, these two photos show chocolate Legos. That's right, actual real toys made of actual real chocolate. Because the gods are good and generous that way, that's why.

According to Buzzfeed, these tasty toys are the creation of a Japanese illustrator and designer who goes by the name Akihiro Mizzuchi. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and can even be used to build stuff.

Stuff like the adorable teddy bears pictured below, which I for one find so appealing that I have to admit I'm seriously considering trying to take a bite out of them through my computer screen.

The bad news is that, for the time being at least, chocolate Legos are not available for purchase. This is because the Japanese illustrator and designer did not create them to make a few bucks, but to complete an art project.
