Record Breaking Chocolate

Chocolate is fun.  It is fun to eat, it is fun to make.  And apparently, it is fun to use to set Guinness Book World Records.

The Grand Candy factory, located in Yerevan, Armenian, qualified on September 11, 2010 as the new Guinness World Record holder of the world’s biggest chocolate bar.

The bar weighs 9,702 pounds – almost 5 tons!  The chocolate bar is made of 70% cocoa mass, measures at 224 inches long, 110 inches wide and 10 inches thick.

Now that is extreme chocolate love.

Here is some more evidence of chocolate gone wild:

BullRush Handmade Chocolates set a Guinness World record for the longest chocolate bar at 14.58 meters. BullRush Chocolates of Ashburton is in New Zealand.

The world's tallest chocolate skyscraper goes to pastry chef Alain Roby.  He made a skyscraper out of dark chocolate that is 20 feet, 8 inches tall.

The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is the home of the world’s largest chocolate fountain. Rivers of white, milk and dark chocolate flow over glass shelves creating an edible fountain over 27 vertical feet high.

South Africa beat out Brazil for the world's largest chocolate bunny.  The Easter bunny is 12 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs more than 3 tons.  Brazil’s bunny only weighed a mere 2.8 tons.

I wonder what happens to all that chocolate after it is officially documented?

They better be handing out samples!
