World’s Largest Chocolate Bar

In one of my earlier writings about Scrumptious Chocolate, i mentioned the benefits of eating chocolates. They are rich in antioxidants and research shows that moderate chocolate consumption lowers the risk of heart failure. So, anyone looking for huge amounts of free chocolate should book a flight to Armenia's capital next month.

That's when the world's largest chocolate bar will be up for grabs in Yerevan's main square.

The Guinness Book of World Records certified the 9,702-pound (4,410-kilogram) chocolate bar at a ceremony on Sunday (AEST). After Guinness weighed and measured the giant concoction, company managers were handed a certificate, naming the company as the new record holder. The World’s Largest Candy Bar record was previously held by a company in Italy, for a candy bar weighing 7,890 pounds.

It was made by Grand Candy factory and contains all natural ingredients, including 70 percent cocoa mass. The chocolate bar is 224 inches (560 centimetres) long, 110 inches (275 centimetres) wide and 10 inches (25 centimetres) thick.

The factory owner, Karen Vardanyan, said that the chocolate bar was produced to mark the 10th anniversary of the company. He said it will be divided up and handed out on October 16 to be served to the public.
