Chocolate maker Lindt has produced a chocolate replica of Sydney Tower in a stunt to celebrate Easter.

The two-metre chocolate sculpture of the Sydney Tower, which is 1:100 in scale, has been hand-crafted by Thomas Schnetzler, master chocolatier at Lindt Australia.

The creation is the fruit of a partnership between Lindt and Sydney Tower Eye.

The process for the structure began in the Lindt studios in Melbourne in February where bespoke moulds were filled with 12.5kg of dark chocolate to build the turret of the tower.
