Largest chocolate bar - world record set by the Grand Candy factory
YEREVAN, Armenia -- Armenian company Grand Candy unveiled a
10-inch-thick (25-centimetre) chocolate bar containing all natural
ingredients, including 70 percent cocoa mass, weighing in at 9,720
pounds (4,410 kilograms) and measuring 18.4 feet (5.60 metres) by nine

Grand Candy CEO Karen Vardanian told journalists the Largest
chocolate bar in the World was produced in honour of the company's
10th anniversary.
The world's biggest chocolate bar, containing cocoa beans from
Ghana, is 224in long, 110in wide and 10in thick. It will be divided up
and handed out to members of the public next month.
For those who want milk chocolate, you will be disappointed. The
Armenian World's Biggest Chocolate Bar is reportedly dark chocolate.
Hershey's may in fact be jealous.
The previous Guinness World Record was a chocolate bar produced by
Elah Dufour-Novi in Alessandria, Piemonte, Italy in October 2007 that
weighted 3,580 kilograms (7,890 pounds).
Guinness World Records representative Elizabeth Smith presented
the factory owner Karen Vardanyan with an official certificate during
a ceremony. She said she was glad to witness what she described as an
"incredible event".
