A team of researchers at Cambridge University have created a chocolate, which they say, can make you look younger.

Esthechoc contains 70 percent dark chocolate and antioxidants which it's claimed helps smooth wrinkles and increase blood flow to the skin.

The company has carried out a trial, in which a group of volunteers aged between 50 and 60 had to eat the chocolate for a month (sounds like the worst job ever, right?).

Dr Ivan Petyaev said there "was a visible difference" in the appearance of those taking part in the trial.

"We also improved physiology... increased blood blood supply, and what people found was their appearance changed, the softness of the skin."

Dr. Petyaev explained that the chocolate works by removing "factors which are responsible for corrosion, basically damage of the skin" that you would find in most popular chocolates.

Dr George Grimble, a nutrition expert at University College London, says more tests are needed before the claims can be taken as true.

We'll just be here, staring at this until they come back to us...
