The beginning of chocolate gigantomania
The very first and largest chocolate appeared in Italy in 2007. The initiator of the creation of a delicious giant was the Rivarolo factory, and the talented confectioner from Turin A. Giordano turned out to be the author.
The event was attended not only by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records, but also by the mayor personally. Numerous residents and guests of the city came to see the world's largest sweetness with their own eyes. Dimensions confectionery really impressed all the sweet tooth: its length was 11 meters 57 cm. By the way, the previous record was shorter by as much as 4 meters! To this day, the Italian chocolate has remained the largest in length.
Armenia vs America
After 4 years (in 2011), the whole world was surprised by the owner of the Grand Candy factory Karen Vardanyan from Armenia. For the decade of his brainchild, he decided to make history by making the largest chocolate bar in the world weighing 4,410 kg.
Everyone could appreciate the quality of the products: at a solemn ceremony in Yerevan, the giant was cut into pieces and distributed free of charge to visitors. Unlike the Italian chocolate, the champion's parameters were more compact: 5 m 68 cm long, 1 m 10 cm wide and a little over 25 cm high. The dessert was made from quality cocoa beans from Ghana, the largest and one of the most expensive suppliers of this raw material in the world. Together with representatives of the Book of Records, the ceremony was attended by journalists and TV reporters of well-known media from different countries.
In September of the same year, the Americans decided to make the largest chocolate - the World's Finest Chocolate factory. The dream of the sweet tooth was presented in Chicago. To weigh a delicacy weighing 5,574 kg, special mounts and cables were needed to hold such a heavyweight. The dimensions of the largest American chocolate bar are also impressive: the length is 6.4 m and the height is 91 cm. After the figures were recorded by world experts, the confectionery was sent on an American tour so that everyone could see the impressive spectacle with their own eyes.
It is noteworthy that the program under which the “chocolate tour” was organized was called “Thinking Big! Eat wisely." Thus, nutritionists urged to observe the measure and not to get too carried away with sweets.
current record
The most large tile chocolate, the record of which no one in the world has yet been able to surpass, was made by the British in the autumn of the same 2011 almost simultaneously with the Americans. The creator was the Thorntons factory, which has been a leader in the chocolate industry for over a century. She made a giant weighing 5,792 kg of the correct square shape - 4 by 4 meters. It is noteworthy that as many as 75,000 bars of gourmet delicacy could have been obtained from such a large chocolate bar.
The author of the chocolate was an employee of the manufacturing company Paul Bell. The pastry chef admits that the idea for the creation came to him while watching Tim Burton's Charlie and chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp. In one of the scenes, the tiles were reduced to microscopic sizes. Then Paul decided that it would be original to do everything exactly the opposite. As a result, the world saw the chocolate giant, which became the dream of all the sweet tooth.
Who doesn't love chocolate, especially when there's a lot of it? Knowing people's sweet tooth, Thorntons decided in 2011 to create a masterpiece of record size and set about making the world's largest chocolate bar. The strangest thing is that many years have passed since then, and the record is still unattainable.
Thorntons is a British company that from year to year works to the delight of all lovers of sweets and they took it so hard to make their huge masterpiece. Miracle tiles were prepared by them in honor of the company's centennial anniversary. Having demonstrated it to the world, they simultaneously broke the previous record, but the confectioners are silent about whether they did it on purpose or not.
According to official data, largest chocolate bar in the world weighs 5,793 kg, being exactly 200 kg heavier than the previous record work of confectionery art. It occupies 4 meters in length and 4 in width, representing a huge square, and not a rectangle familiar to us. It is worth noting that this masterpiece is equal to 75 thousand bars of ordinary, standard in size chocolate from Thorntons.
Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records visited Britain in order to weigh the creation and officially register it as the largest. But after assessing the weight, according to all the requirements and regulations, they carefully checked the composition of the chocolate. Any impurity that makes it inedible or can harm the human body would forever put an end to the creation of the British, but nothing of the kind could be found - the sweet work of art was made not only with love, but according to all the rules.
Do not forget about the masters from America, or rather from Chicago, behind which the previous record figure is listed. Representatives of the Worlds Finest Chocolate company also installed it in 2011, and what is most offensive, they did not celebrate their triumph for long, because a month later the tile was made larger. It's a shame for them, but joyfully for all the sweet tooth of the world.
The creation of the Americans in height occupied more than one meter, and in length - almost 6.5 meters. Its weight was 5,575 kg, but the amount of costs is most impressive. The bar required 600 kg of liquor, about one ton of milk powder, 760 kg of cocoa butter, and as much as 3 tons of sugar. After measurements and weighing, at a solemn ceremony, the tiles were divided into many different pieces and sold there on the spot. All the money earned was officially transferred to one of the children's charity funds.
Before American craftsmen, masters from Armenia were considered champions. It may surprise you, how is it? Why not the Swiss, because they are famous the best chocolate? However, it was the Grand Candy company that, in honor of its decade, took the trouble to perpetuate itself in 2010.
Their chocolate bar weighed 4,405 kg, but it is worth noting that invited confectionery specialists from Italy worked on its creation, spending a good four days at work. For some time their work stood at one of the exhibitions, flaunting its shapes and dimensions, but after that it was fragmented into small fragments and given to everyone absolutely free of charge, by which the Grand Candy company only strengthened its good name.
For those who like sweets, we recommend eating before reading this article. We begin the story of difficult chocolates. Up to three million tons of cocoa beans are produced annually in the world. The annual production of coffee is twice as much. The most delicious, thin and expensive beans grow in their homeland - on the continent of South America. But their collection is only five percent of the world.
Half of five percent comes from Ecuador. And it is these cocoa beans that serve to produce the most famous and delicious chocolate. "Godiva" Belgian. The sweet was named after a high-ranking person, the wife of an English ruler who ruled the county of Coventry in the eleventh century. But chocolate is known besides taste, shape, number of kilograms.

The giant at the confectioners turned out to be large - four meters long and the same width. The chocolate bar was made for the centennial anniversary of the company. Seventy-five thousand regular-sized chocolates fit in the jubilee giant.
The idea to make the largest chocolate bar in the world and break the previous record came to the head of one employee of the company - a fanatic of the film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
Thomtons employees were asked to express best idea celebrating the centenary of the company. Paul Bell, the author of the project of a large chocolate bar, says that in the film the chocolate bar was reduced in size and he suggested doing the opposite - increasing the chocolate bar. Thus, the idea of creating a mega-chocolate was born.
Americans for food smart
Another large chocolate bar with an exact weight of five tons, five hundred and seventy-four kilograms and sixty-five grams. The drug for the sweet tooth was weighed accurately. The huge tile was considered the largest before the British record, and many people have already worked to eat it completely.
On the thirteenth of September, two thousand and eleven, a chocolate bar of the largest size appeared. Its manufacturer is the company "World's Finest Chocolate". It was not the first time she rushed to victory, and after one of the attempts she was crowned with success. She posted her record in Chicago, Illinois.

The composition of the chocolate giant: cocoa butter seven hundred and seventy one kilograms, chocolate liqueur six hundred and thirty five kilograms, milk powder nine hundred and seven kilograms, as well as sugar two thousand four hundred and ninety four kilograms, almonds five hundred and forty four kilograms.

For the production of the giant, cocoa beans from Ganna were used. It measures five hundred and sixty-eight centimeters long, one hundred and ten centimeters wide, and twenty-five point four centimeters thick.
When it comes to world centers, you think about Switzerland, England, America, you never think about Armenia. Not used to. It is good to realize that the CIS countries do not lag behind the European ones, that the record of Armenia is recorded in the Guinness book for many years.
When Armenia was striding towards a record, it was visited by cameramen, photojournalists. They all made their way to the chocolate slab. Yerevan confectionery factory "Grand Candy" presented chocolate weighing more than four tons. Factory director Karen Vardanyan received an official certificate from the Guinness Book of Records. The chocolate plate was brewed on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the factory. A month later, the chocolate giant began to be divided and distributed to those who wished for free.
