Chicago chocolate bar: 12,000 pounds, 21 feet long

Now that’s a chocolaty treat!

Chicago-based World’s Finest Chocolate on Tuesday made a chocolate bar that weighs 12,000 pounds and measures 3 feet high and 21 feet long. The big bar is actually meant to be an example of “portion distortion” for schoolchildren. The chocolate company will feature the candy bar on a tour of schools called “Think Big. Eat Smart.”

The recipe for the chocolate bar includes 1,200 pounds of almonds, 5,500 pounds of sugar, 2,000 pounds of milk powder, 1,700 pounds of cocoa butter and 1,400 pounds of chocolate liquor.

World’s Finest Chocolates is well known for selling chocolate fundraising products.
