Thanks to&nbsp;Sherlock&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Imitation Game, Benedict Cumberbatch is a big hit among both women and men. And judging from this article, it’s safe to say that his popularity has taken a delicious turn. A team of eight enterprising chocolatiers in England have hand-crafted a life-size&nbsp;Benedict Cumberbatch out of 500 bars of Belgian chocolate.&nbsp;This edible statue was created after the&nbsp;Sherlock&nbsp;star&nbsp;was named UK’s dishiest drama actor in a nationwide poll&nbsp;to celebrate the Drama channel joining the on-demand service, UKTV&nbsp;Play.&nbsp;It took 250 hours to complete the statue and weighs 40 kgs.&nbsp;Cumberbatch beat David Tennant, Sean Bean and&nbsp;Idris Elba in the poll, which also included Damian Lewis and&nbsp; Aidan Turner.The Benedict Cumberbatch chocolate statue will be&nbsp;displayed at Westfield Stratford City on April 3. Well, you can’t eat him but you can definitely check out the video of how he (ahem, it) was made.
