Here at the Cocoba Chocolate Factory in Kent we are always looking for new and exciting feats to challenge ourselves with. But this time, did we bite off more than we could chew by creating this gigantic Easter Egg weighing in at almost three hundred kilograms!?
It took approximately 5 Days to make all two hundred and ninety six kilograms of this gigantic Easter egg.
This was actually our second attempt - the first time we tried, the chocolate cracked and broke as we were taking it out of the mould.
We then tried again, this time making and assemble the egg in peices. This ensured the egg would not break, and we then used molten chocolate to seal them together to create one truly giant egg.
⚡Our gigantic Easter egg weighs an egg-normous 300kg!!
⚡It took 5 chocolatiers 5 Days to make it (including 2 hour planning)
⚡Its walls are four inches thick (that's almost 8cm!)
⚡It is 2m tall - that's taller than the average woman!
⚡The egg was coated 7 times over, and we had to leave it for 24 hours to solidify.
While we would never expect someone to buy our (almost) 300kg chocolate Easter egg, we definitely do not want it going to waste! Therefore, after Easter we will be melting the chocolate down, and reusing it to create very special limited edition chocolate bars. For every one of the chocolate bars sold, we will give a percentage of the profits to charity.
The chocolate bars will be available to purchase after Easter. Please sign up to our email newsletter to be the first to know when you can get yours!
Not quite as big as The Good Egg, but you can still get your hands on something that will impress your friends and family, and be great to share:
