Good News for Chocoholics

To get the right texture Easter Eggs are made from sugar or sucrose and not from corn syrup. But chocolate contains lots and lots of sugar.

This is a Guylian Luxury Easter Egg. It can also be used as a designer handbag, I guess.

You will find the largest Chocolate Easter Egg ever here.

This egg is 10.39 m high and weighs 7,200 kg , but  it is ugly. I like the GUYLIAN GIANT EGG (below) because it looks good and we also know how much sugar is in the egg.

This Giant Egg was made in 2005 in Belgium by chocolate maker Guylian.

Statistics:

Height: 8.32 m  

Weight: 1950 kg chocolate

No. Chocolatiers: 26

No. Chocolate bars: 50,000

Total time: 525 hrs

The amount of sugar in the giant egg weighs as much as a Fiat Punto.
