Can I add a field collection to a block? I have made a field collection, exported as a Feature and now I'd like to add it to a block.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have added fields to blocks through the form API, but that doesn't seem to apply here.

I would like to add this field collection through code, rather then finding a module.

I've looked at hook_block_configure to add the form there, but I don't know if I can add a type that isn't listed in Form API reference.
How about doing it through Views. 

You can create a block view, add your field collection to the view, then use the view as a block.
