Largest collection of chocolate bars
If you think you are the world’s biggest chocolate lover, think again…
There is a man out there who holds the record for the world's largest collection of chocolate bars, with 770 unique items! 🍫
His name is Bob Brown, and his beloved chocolate bars, from the most popular ones to the rarest and most unique, all line the walls of his house’s basement in Indianapolis, USA.
Longest chocolate sculpture
Now, who wouldn’t want to get on board of this delicious train?! 🚂
The 111-ft 8-in-long (34.05 m) chocolate choo-choo was put on display at Brussels South railroad station in Belgium in 2012.
It was crafted from Belcolade chocolate by master chocolatier Andrew Farrugia, as part of Brussels Chocolate Week.
That’s right… Brussels celebrates chocolate for a whole week!
It might be worth moving there. 🤣
Largest box of chocolates
This record-breaking box contains enough chocolate to last you a lifetime.
It weighs 2,547.49 kg (5,616 lb 4 oz), and was achieved by Russell Stover in USA, on 17 April 2023, to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
How long would it take you to devour the entire thing?! 😋
Most expensive dessert
Last but not least, the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate, costing $25,000 (£12,000), is a sundae that uses a fine blend of 28 cocoas, and is decorated with 5 g (0.17 oz) of edible gold. 🤑
That’s as expensive as 4,000 "normal" ice creams!
Would you eat it? 🍨
