The World's Biggest Easter Egg

Chocolate Easter eggs come in all shapes and sizes. Well, actually, they’re all basically the same shape. But they do come in lots of different sizes, from the very small to the very big.

But none come bigger than this baby.

Made from around 50,000 chocolate bars (that’s 1950kg of chocolate) by Guylian in St Niklaas, Belgium, in 2005, the egg measured 8.32 metres high and took 26 craftsman 525 hours to build. It’s not know if any of the aforementioned craftsmen were Oompa Loompas but we wouldn’t rule it out.  

The World's Biggest Ever Easter Egg Hunt

That’s one egg that wouldn’t be difficult to find on an Easter egg hunt. And speaking of Easter egg hunts, the biggest ever was held in 2007 at Cypress Gardens, a theme park near Winter Haven, Florida in the US.

It was attended by 9,700 people searching for 510,000 candy-filled eggs, 1,000 of them containing special prizes donated by local businesses. Incredibly, the eggs were collected in less than hour! Good work! 

The World's Most Expensive Easter Egg

But if quality, not quantity, is more to your liking, how about the chocolate Easter egg with the biggest price tag? How does a cool £50,000 sound?

That was how much the Diamond Stella Egg went on sale for at the La Maison du Chocolat store in Piccadilly, London, in April 2006. Made in Paris over a three-week period, the egg was encrusted with more than one hundred 0.5 carat diamonds and was 65cm tall.

Somewhat disappointingly, though, it only contained peach and apricot chocolates and pralines. What a rip-off! 

The World's Biggest Box of Chocolates

But for an Easter gift that really keeps on giving, you could do a lot worse than the world’s biggest box of chocolates, which was displayed in Leicester Square, London, in 2008.

Made by Thorntons, it stood at 16.5ft tall and 11.5ft wide, weighed 2,000kg and contained 175,000 individually wrapped chocolates. That would be quite a sugar rush. 

The World's Biggest Bunny Rabbit

Let’s hope the Easter Bunny is big enough for the job of delivering all these giant chocolate treats. But does he measure up to the world’s largest recorded rabbit, the appropriately named Fat Ralph, a Continental Giant rabbit from East Sussex, England.

Still growing at 20kg, he weighs more than an average three-year-old child and eats £10 worth of food a day. We’re assuming his diet doesn’t include chocolate but at that size, who knows?
