Video: Armenian Candy Company Makes World's Largest Chocolate Bar
The Grand Candy factory in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, was a happy place to be today. The factory created the world's largest chocolate bar. The inspectors from Guinness World Records certified the bar as the world's biggest. It weighs 4,410 kilograms (9,702 pounds). After the British inspector announced that the bar had qualified, the translator told the anxiously waiting crowd, who were thrilled. After that, they hacked off pieces of the giant bar and got down to the business of eating some delicious chocolate.
NPR reports that the bar was made of 11 natural ingredients, including 70% coco mass.
The chocolate bar is 224 inches (560 centimeters) long, 110 inches (275 centimeters) wide and 10 inches (25 centimeters) 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 Oct. 16.
