Chocolate and burgers... two of life's biggest pleasures. But would you fancy combining them for the ultimate feast?

Burger King, one of the world's biggest fast food outlets, has created the Chocolate Whopper just in time for Easter.

Combining not only a milk chocolate coated burger, the calorie-laden concoction also includes white chocolate rings, oodles of raspberry sauce and a chocolate cake bun.

A match made in heaven or Room 101?

Teasing the new creation on Twitter, Burger King say the dish is "Coming soon... maybe."

So before you get too excited it all seems to be a big April Fool's joke...

Coincidentally the day falls on Easter Sunday so there's actually a few chocolate-themed pranks doing the rounds, including this new 'chocolate mayonnaise' from Heinz.

While Coca Cola claim to have new avocado, sourdough and charcoal flavoured drinks in the pipeline!

Some parents have also been busy pranking their children today by wrapping up fruit or vegetables and disguising them as chocolate!

Or do this... replace the chocolate with grapes #happytweetser pic.twitter.com/aMh1oYTVJW
