Microsoft is indulging Xbox gamers’ sweetest dreams with some marvelous creations you probably thought could only exist in children’s storybooks. In a delectable nod to Warner Bros Pictures’ upcoming film Wonka, the company has reimagined its gadgets as chocolate treats.
The first piece of eye candy is a special-edition Xbox Series X Console that’s straight out of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

We’re not going to sugarcoat things here—although it resembles a candy bar, this whimsical gear is for playing, not eating, so don’t let your taste buds get too carried away.
But for those with a taste for both gaming and chocolate, Xbox has crafted a first-of-a-kind, 100% chocolate controller, wrapped in the iconic gold foil reminiscent of Wonka’s magical offerings. Thankfully, this one is edible, fueling your stomach for sugary confections.

Gifted with the controller is a box packed with surprises: a burgundy Xbox Wireless Controller echoing Wonka’s classic coat and a collection of five chocolate truffles, each designed to complement the gaming experience. From the focus-fueling ‘Achievement Hunting’ truffle with energy-boosting ingredients to the buzzy ‘Button Masher’ with espresso in its recipe and the fiery ‘Xtra Kick’ with spicy rewards, there’s a confectionery counterpart for every gaming session.
Wonka serves as a prequel to the beloved story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, diving into the imaginative beginnings of the world’s most renowned chocolate-maker, played by Timothée Chalamet. The movie is set to be a vibrant celebration of creativity, ambition, and, of course, chocolate, echoing the fantastical spirit of Roald Dahl’s universe.
Xbox enthusiasts and chocolate lovers can vie for a bite of these sweet gaming treats by following Xbox on X (formerly Twitter) and reposting its sweepstakes post from now until December 14, 2023.
Now that looks delicious 🤤
