Grand Candy CEO Karen Vardanian told journalists the Largest chocolate bar  in the World was produced in honour of the company's 10th anniversary.

   The world's biggest chocolate bar , containing cocoa beans from Ghana, is 224in long, 110in wide and 10in thick. It will be divided up and handed out to members of the public next month.

   For those who want milk chocolate, you will be disappointed. The Armenian World's Biggest Chocolate Bar is reportedly dark chocolate.

      Hershey's may in fact be jealous.

    The previous Guinness World Record was a chocolate bar produced by Elah Dufour-Novi in Alessandria, Piemonte, Italy in October 2007 that weighted 3,580 kilograms (7,890 pounds).

     Guinness World Records representative Elizabeth Smith presented the factory owner Karen Vardanyan with an official certificate during a ceremony. She said she was glad to witness what she described as an "incredible event".
