The Queen’s Head Inn, a pub in Worcestershire UK, made a 250 kg chocolate truffle and they’re hoping it sets a new world record for the world's biggest chocolate truffle!

Now that is a lot of chocolate!  (And, an awesome photo!)

The pub plans to show off the massive treat to mark the beginning of National Chocolate Week.

All the ingredients were donated; Belgium chocolate, brandy, double cream, and cocoa powder. The truffle was made with a ganache center and dusted in cocoa powder.  It was made the traditional way, formulating the ingredients in proportion to a normal size truffle.

Eight people were needed to lift it up onto the scales to get the world record breaking weight.

All efforts were overseen following the strict requirements of the Guinness World Records.  Assuming it is formally verified, this truffle, weighing in at 254.9 kg, will handily beat the previous German world record of 196.3 kg.

In the near future, the truffle will be broken down into smaller truffles and sold to raise money for a local charity, Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

I wish I could be there to sample a piece of that monstrous pile of chocolate goo.  If you're in the neighborhood, you're welcome to send me a bite. 🙂
