You didn’t misread the title, as bizarre as it may seem.

Makers of the revolutionary new chocolate, which is set to hit Australian shelves, claim that pimple-plagued sufferers will experience dramatic results within just two weeks of eating the chocolate.

Developed by US-based Frutels, the chocolate-coated treatment is believed to be the first of its kind and supports the body’s defences and clarifies the skin from within.

Frutels recommend consumers eat between two and five chocolates a day for the fastest results, reports News.com.au.

A company spokesman said: “This product takes beauty foods to another level by not only tackling acne care in an ingestible form, but by using a food that has been associated with causing acne to make these claims.

“Chocolate has long been taboo for acne sufferers.” However, to date there is still no medical evidence that supports claims that chocolate causes acne – it is one of those myths.

We will be following the development of this this story with keen interest to see if this product achieves what it claims – What will come next, restaurants that specialize in acne treating menus?
