Giant Chocolate Bar Unveiled to Raise Charity Donations

Charity News Online

A giant chocolate bar, believed to be the world's largest, has been unwrapped, while Singapore's biggest chocolate montage has gone on sale for charity. Weighing 2.668 tons, it is possibly the world's largest chocolate bar, CNA reports. This record-breaking attempt has been submitted to the Guinness Book of Records and is awaiting confirmation. The current record stands at 2.28 tonnes. The chocolate bar by Nestle Singapore will be on display at Plaza Singapura till July 16.

Also on display is Singapore's largest chocolate montage - featuring the logo of the President's Challenge Fund. It was formed by students from Temasek Secondary School by piecing together some 10,000 boxes of chocolates. These will now be sold to the public to help beneficiaries of the fund. Esther Lee, Teacher, Temasek Secondary School, said, "We're looking forward to raising the $25,000 for President's Challenge Fund...The montage is done but the $25,000...we still got a while to go."

The organizers (Nestle Singapore) will donate $25,000 from the sale proceeds to the President's Challenge Fund.
