At Pennsic 18 (or 19?) I made a dragon out of chocolate and rice 
krispies and covered him/it with green chocolate coating.  He had 
slivered almonds for claws and a red marzipan tongue.  The green 
coating was "fluffed" up to look like scales.  It was presented to 
Their Majesties of the Midrealm to use as booty.  I learned the 
following year that they had thrown the whole thing away because they 
didn't know it was edible.  So much for the little speeches one gives 
Royalty when presenting items.  :-(

Alys Katharine, who knows better, now, about chocolate but still makes 
stuff from it
