There is a way to find that out. We can use Schwarzschild radius to find the point at which an objects radius crosses the event horizon and thus becomes a black hole; Rs=2GM/c2, Rs being the Schwarzschild radius, G being the gravitational constant (6.67xe-11), M being the things mass, and c being the speed of light.
Damn now my curiosity is piqued.
So let’s theoretically gather together an almighty ball of iron.
As you add more, would it’s own gravity cause the density to increase to a point where it would collapse into a black hole?
Would chocolate eclairs achieve fission? I need to submit these to Randall Munroe.

I believe so!
I assume chocolate is made of lighter elements than iron so yeah, a big chocolate ball enough would become a star!
Yum 🤤
I don’t know how long it stays edible 😅
And eventually you’d be crushed by the growing gravitational pull of this chocolate ball!
