Back-to-school blues? This chocolate classroom supplies set could help sweeten the pill

Is your child reluctant to go back to school? Then this original back-to-school set could be just the thing. Here, the triangle, ruler and pencils are made entirely from chocolate -- a tasty way to motivate your child while also raising a smile.

Fall means back to school for many kids. And -- teenagers aside -- plenty of them will be delighted to get back to the schoolyard and see their friends. But for others, it can be a time of back-to-school blues. To cheer up reluctant schoolkids, French chain Le Comptoir de Mathilde has come up with a tasty selection to help start the year on the right foot.

This chocolate back-to-school supplies kit includes a ruler, a calculator and pencils in dark chocolate, as well as a triangle and a small notebook in milk chocolate. The whole kit comes in a small wooden box that can then be reused to store real pens and pencils.

This chocolate school set is joined by a gardening version, featuring a small watering can, gloves, pruning shears and trowel. And for DIY enthusiasts, there's a set featuring a hammer, screwdriver and saw.

All the kits are available from Le Comptoir de Mathildepriced €19.90 (approx. $23.50).
