   Chocolate  lovers  around  the  world are invited to Armenia to take a
   bite of the world's largest chocolate bar.
   The  4,410-kilogram  dark  chocolate  treat  will be offered up to the
   public on October 16.
   The  Guinness  Book  of  World  Records certified the giant bar as the
   world's largest in a ceremony in Yerevan over the weekend.
   Made  by  the Grand Candy factory, the massive chocolate is 70 percent
   cocoa mass and was made from all natural ingredients using cocoa beans
   from Ghana.
   It  is  more  than 5.5 meters long, 2.7 meters wide and 25 centimeters
   thick.
   The  previous  record  was  for a 3,587-kilogram chocolate bar made by
   Elah Dufour-Novi in Alessandria, Piemonte, Italy, in October 2007.
