Michelangelo chose marble for his statue of David.
But what medium would be best to honor Grammy and Academy Award winning rapper Eminem?Artist Enrique Ramos made a bold choice - Eminem in M&M's.
Yes - Marshall Mathers immortalized in chocolate candies.
His creation is both beautiful and delicious.
The Eminem portrait is made from more than 1,000 individual M&M's and measures 40 inches by 30 inches.
