"Who needs traditional dishware when there are edible versions that you can munch along with your favorite snacks, desserts, and drinks? Instead of doing the dishes after a meal, simply eat the evidence! According to Laughing Squid, the Italian coffee brand called Lavazza has a new innovation for espresso drinkers everywhere. It&amp;#039;s not a new brewing device or a milk frother. In fact, this invention is simply an espresso cup. What&amp;#039;s so special about this particular espresso cup? It&amp;#039;s actually a cookie.    Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi created Lavazza&amp;#039;s cookie cup. The cup-shaped cookie looks exactly like a typical espresso cup. While a cookie-cup alone may have been leaky, Sardi added a layer of sugar icing around the inside for insulation. Espresso drinkers can sip their morning brew and then eat the cookie for dessert. Edible espresso cups aren&amp;#039;t the only way to enjoy dishware creations made from food. Foodbeast reports that a French design company, Miit, came up with an digestible version of a fondue pot, and this one is easy to recreate at home. Simply hollow out the inside of a muffin, fill it with melted chocolate, and voil\u00E0! You&amp;#039;ve got a makeshift fondue pot ready for dipping strawberries.   Lifehacker also has a trick for making edible dishes at home. Mold cookie dough over the bottom of a muffin tin and bake the &amp;quot;cookies&amp;quot; with the muffin tin upside-down. The result is a bowl made out of a cookie, perfect for filling with a scoop of ice cream, pudding, or fruit.   Looking for some savory &amp;quot;dishware&amp;quot; instead? Trusty bacon shows its versatility once again as it can be morphed into a crunchy bowl or even a swizzle stick to put in a cocktail. Layering pieces of bacon over the bottom of a muffin tin will create the same cookie bowl effect when baked in the oven. In his cookbook Bite by Bite, Peter Callahan makes miniature bacon bowls, which he calls &amp;quot;Bacon Cups,&amp;quot; and fills them with baked beans for an adorable appetizer. Larger bacon bowls can be achieved with regular-sized muffin tins.   Have you made dishware or utensils out of food? Which of these ideas do you want to try?
