The term 'Death by Chocolate' could have taken on a whole new sinister meaning had a plot from NAZI Germany to kill Winston Churchill been successful.
According to this report Hitler had planned an audacious attempt to assassinate his war time rival by targeting one of his main weaknesses - chocolate.
The plan involved launching a deadly assault on Britain's wartime Prime Minister via a bomb coated in rich dark chocolate and wrapped in expensive black-and-gold paper.
Apparently correspondence between MI5 agents documents how the Germans planned to place the incendiary device amongst a tray of luxury foods that was frequently taken into the War Cabinet's dining room. The bomb was planned to be so powerful that once it went off it was expected to kill anyone within several metres.
However the Germans were foiled when a British spy unraveled the plot. He then informed MI5 who produced posters to warn the public to be on the look-out for any suspicious chocolate.
