And the country with the world's biggest chocolate bar is ... Armenia!
By Mailonline Reporter
When one thinks of the world centres in the art of chocolate-making
the countries that spring to mind are Belgium and Switzerland.
But Armenia?
The tiny country sandwiched between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran and
Georgia has just produced the world's biggest chocolate bar.
The Grand Candy factory in Yerevan, the capital of the former republic
of the Soviet Union, has just unveiled the 9,702lb monster.
Guinness World Record's representative Elizabeth Smith presented the
factory owner Karen Vardanyan with an official certificate during a
ceremony today.
She said she was glad to witness what she described as an 'incredible event'.
Ms Vardanyan said that the chocolate bar was produced to mark the
tenth anniversary of the company. The previous record was set in Italy
in 2007.
The 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.
