Hungry? Check out this two-ton Snickers bar in Texas that’s breaking records
Attention chocoholics! This Snickers is the chocolate bar of your dreams.
Thursday in Waco, Texas, Mars Wrigley unveiled the largest chocolate nut bar of all time: a Snickers bar that weighs more than two metric tons, according to a news release.
Measuring 12 feet long, 24 inches high and 26 inches wide, the massive chocolate bar has been certified by both Snickers and Guinness World Records as the largest chocolate nut bar ever made, KWTX reported.
That’s the size of more than 41,000 regular-sized Snickers bars, the release said.
To be considered a chocolate nut bar by Guinness, the confection has to be at least 80 percent chocolate and nuts and safe for humans to eat, KCEN reported. The Texas-sized Snickers had more than 3,500 pounds of chocolate and 1,200 pounds of peanuts, caramel and nougat, the release said.
Guinness would only consider bars over 220 pounds, but that wasn’t an issue; the giant Snickers weighed in at 4,728 pounds, KCEN reported. Once the bar is eaten — it will be given to Mars employees across the country — Guinness will officially record its place in candy history, the release says.
But Snickers isn’t stopping at the two-ton behemoth.
Mars says this Snickers is “a small version of something even bigger” the company has planned for this year’s Super Bowl LIV, the release said.
“It’s a big year for the Snickers brand,” brand director Josh Olken, said in the release. “We’re not only celebrating the 90th anniversary of the brand, but the Super Bowl will also mark ten years since the iconic ‘Game’ spot launched the award-winning ‘You’re Not You When You’re Hungry’ campaign. What better time than the Super Bowl to satisfy something on the biggest scale yet?”
