Check out this train made entirely out of CHOCOLATE

This record-breaking train is the most delicious thing we’ve seen in a long time!

Maltese chocolatier Andrew Farrugia has broken his 3rd Guinness World Records title by creating the world's longest chocolate sculpture - a 55.27-metre long old-style train.

And if you’re trying to picture how long that is, well, it’s longer than the length of an Olympic swimming pool and not far off the wingspan of a 747 jumbo aeroplane.

WOW!

The tasty creation has one locomotive and 22 carriages, each weighing up to 160 kg, fully made out of mouth-watering Belgian chocolate!

Could you and your friends eat the whole thing?

Andrew is a super-talented chocolate artist –yes, that’s a real job.

“With this record, I wanted to leave a legacy to my institute, my country, and my family,” he said.

And he absolutely did!

The train was presented in Milan, Italy, the true capital of food and beauty. Andrew shared proudly that he and his team have broken 2 Guinness World Records titles already in the past 10 years:

• A 34.05-metre model train built out of chocolate in Brussels in 2012, which was recognized as the longest chocolate sculpture at the time
• A replica of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building - in 2014, measuring 13.52 metres, and becoming the tallest chocolate sculpture 

What can we say, he’s a chocolate genius!

So how hard was it to build such a train?

It was a lengthy process. Andrew said that he and his team spent approximately a whole YEAR preparing, but the actual production took 4 months of detailed planning and modelling.

And it was all worth it!

And when it comes to its size…

“If I had to calculate, more or less we had 5,000 pieces – all hand cut,” Andrew said, “and, around 180 wheels for the wagons alone.”

Naturally, the train was hard to move around due to its record-breaking length. Andrew said that transportation was the most difficult part of the process.

“It is a very fine, delicate piece, and to transport sculptures like this from one place to another requires a lot of attention,” he shared. “We had to cover every single piece securely by plastic film. But, I am very happy to say that all of the structures arrived here safely, and no piece was broken!”

Phew!

Congratulations, Andrew and team, you are all Officially Amazing.
