Chocolate - Armenian style

There was a report on the local TV station news here during the week - one that had our family going "ssshhhhh" and turning up the volume.
Last weekend the Guinness World Records certified that the largest bar of chocolate was created by the Grand Candy Factory in Yerevan, Armenia!



The bar of dark chocolate was made with cocoa beans from the African nation of Ghana. It weighs 9,702-pounds, and measures 224 inches long, 110 inches wide and 10 inches thick.

The chocolate will be served to the public next month!

I've been to a Grand Candy store in Yerevan - they're really great and their Armenian Delight (as opposed to Turkish Delight, which is a copy) is absolutely delicious!
