World record for longest chocolate bar set in Ashburton

Wellington, Sep 11 (ANI): A new world-record for a giant chocolate bar has been set in Ashburton.

From midnight on Friday to this afternoon, almost 24 hours, BullRush Handmade Chocolates, of Ashburton, made a 14.58-metre-long chocolate bar.

It sets a new Guiness World Record for the longest chocolate bar. The previous world record was 11.57 metres long, after a chocolate bar was made in Italy in March this year, reports Stuff.co.nz

BullRush Chocolates owner Nadine Porter said officials had monitored the world-record attempt, which took six people to build it using special moulds and dark coverture chocolate. It was 49.5 percent cocoa and tasted beautiful, said Porter, who sampled a small piece of it. (ANI)
