As the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so today we look at some well-known edibles taking on a different form. First, discover the secrets to making a sugar substitute, see how one Chicago bakery is making their own "famous" treats, and grab a slice of a pizza made out of chocolate. Then, check out a gumball turning cold medicine sweet, and watch how one artist mimics his favorite snacks in art. Finally, wash it all down with a swig of a sugary beer made from some sassy roots.
