What's a deliciously sweet treat loved by people of all ages?
It's chocolate of course.
The smooth and creamy snack has millions of adoring fans, and students with special educational needs from a school in Leicester got the chance to create their very own chocolate bars.
The group took part in a competition led by chocolatiers Cocoa Amore.

They had to come up with their very own chocolate product and had full control over all the details including the ingredients, the name and even the packaging.
Little did they know there would be a tasty surprise in store for them.
Cocoa Amore produced 100 bars of each of the winning students' chocolate designs which will be sold in-store.
The students got very creative with their chocolate treats, with one of the winning bars, called 'Explosion Bar', made from cola, honeycomb and popping candy.
Peter Gardner, who owns Cocoa Amore, volunteers to help improve careers activities at the school.
He said 50p from each bar sold at his shop would go back to the school to fund careers activities.
“We held the competition back in February and it’s taken some time to get the bars designed and ready to go on sale," he said.
“I think the students were quite surprised to see something they put together come to life.
“The whole thing was a great experience. Having access to a whole new research and development team that were brutally honest was really refreshing.”
The winning chocolate bars were revealed at the school at the end of May.
