Measure the speed of light, and make a sweet topping

If you’re like me, you likely have some chocolate lying around your home or office — and chances are you get criticized for eating so much sugar. 

Well, now you can honesty tell your naysayers that you’ve got the nuggets of heaven, as I sometimes call them, on hand (at least partially) for the benefit of mankind and the pursuit of truth.

Your chocolate, Wired.com reports, can be used to measure the speed of light.  Really.

In just a handful of easy simple steps, you can morph your chocolate into the perfect ice cream topping — and a really cool science experiment.

So what are you waiting for?  Check it out.  You know you want to.
