XtoysEdible Anus Chocolates Review: A Cheeky Novelty Gift
Editor's opinion
This is a novelty confectionery gift whose entire purpose is the laugh it raises when the box is opened. The moulded shape makes the joke land straight away, and because it is real milk chocolate the recipient gets a treat rather than an inedible prop. Just weigh up whether the humour suits the crowd, and check for allergies before you buy.
Some gifts are about the moment they are unwrapped rather than what happens afterwards, and this is squarely one of them. Edible Anus Chocolates are a moulded milk chocolate novelty built to raise a smile at a hen do, a milestone birthday or a Secret Santa among adults who enjoy a bit of cheek.
The thing to weigh before buying is simple: the joke has to suit the recipient and the room. Get that right and you have an easy, affordable talking point. Get it wrong and it lands flat. Beyond that, there are a couple of practical points around ingredients and storage worth knowing.
The good and the bad
What works
- Real milk chocolate, so it is edible rather than an inedible gag prop
- The moulded shape makes the joke land the moment the box opens
- Compact 15 x 15 x 2 cm box is easy to wrap, post or slip into a gift bag
- No batteries or setup, so nothing to go wrong on the day
What to be aware of
- Contains milk and soya and may contain nuts, so unsuitable for some recipients
- At 80g it is a small amount of chocolate, valued for the joke rather than the portion
- Milk chocolate can bloom or soften in warmth, so it needs sensible storage
- The humour is very much one-note and will not suit every crowd
Buy it if
Anyone buying for a hen do, stag night, adult birthday or Secret Santa exchange where the crowd will appreciate a cheeky, throwaway laugh and a bit of chocolate to go with it.
Skip it if
Skip it for anyone with a dairy, soya or nut allergy, or for someone who would find the joke more awkward than funny. If you want a gift that impresses on quality rather than shock value, a proper artisan chocolate box is the better call.
What you are actually buying
The value here is in the gag, not the gram count. You get 80g of milk chocolate moulded into a shape that needs no explanation, presented in a slim 15 x 15 x 2 cm box. That footprint is deliberately gift-friendly, small enough to post or tuck into a party bag without fuss.
Because it is genuine milk chocolate rather than a plastic prop, the recipient can actually eat it, which is what separates this from a purely disposable joke. Treat it as a novelty first and a chocolate second and you will have measured your expectations correctly.
Ingredients and who should steer clear
The chocolate is made from sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass and milk fat, with soya lecithin as an emulsifier and added flavouring. That is a standard milk chocolate recipe, so the taste should be familiar and uncomplicated.
The important caveat is allergens. It contains milk and soya and may contain nuts, which rules it out for anyone with those sensitivities. Since this is often a surprise gift, it is worth a discreet check before buying rather than risking an awkward moment at the party.
Storage and keeping the joke intact
As with any milk chocolate, the detail of the moulded shape is only as good as its storage. Kept somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, the surface stays crisp and the shape recognisable.
Leave it near a radiator, in a warm car or in summer heat and you risk the surface blooming or softening, which blurs the detail and dulls the joke. If you are buying ahead of an event, keep it cool until the moment you hand it over.
How it compares with other novelty gifts
Against other adult gag gifts, this has one clear advantage: it is edible, so it does not simply end up in the bin once the laugh has passed. That gives it a small edge over plastic novelties that serve their purpose in seconds.
Against a serious box of chocolates, though, it is no contest on quality or quantity, and it was never meant to be. This is a one-joke purchase judged on whether the room laughs, so buy it for the moment and not the confectionery.
The bottom line
Edible Anus Chocolates do exactly what they set out to do: raise a quick laugh and give the recipient something to eat afterwards. If your crowd enjoys cheeky humour and nobody has an allergy to worry about, it is an easy, low-risk novelty gift. Just keep it cool, keep your expectations set to fun rather than fine chocolate, and it will earn its place at the party table.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chocolate actually edible?
Yes. It is genuine milk chocolate made from sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass and milk fat, so the recipient gets a real treat rather than an inedible prop.
Are there any allergens to be aware of?
Yes. It contains milk and soya, and may also contain nuts. It is not suitable for anyone with those allergies, so it is worth checking discreetly before gifting it as a surprise.
How much chocolate do you get?
Each pack contains 80g of milk chocolate in a box measuring 15 x 15 x 2 cm. It is a modest portion, priced for the novelty rather than as a large box of chocolates.
How should it be stored?
Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and radiators. Warmth can cause the surface to bloom or soften and lose the moulded detail that makes the joke work.
Is it a good Secret Santa or hen do gift?
It suits adult gatherings where cheeky humour goes down well, such as hen dos, stag nights, milestone birthdays and Secret Santa exchanges. Just make sure the recipient will take it in good fun.
