In the holiday season extra-large novelty size candy bars are often for sale. I recently purchased a 16oz Snickers bar, and I remember some years ago buying a gigantic (5 lb?) Hershey bar for an office party. I was wondering just how large different commercial candy bars one can buy, but my online search turned up mainly one of a kinds made as world’s record stunts. What are the largest sizes one can actually purchase? ---

My son loves Reese’s Cups and I get him some giant ones year for Christmas. You can order the giant ones from their website. Two Reese’s Cups weigh a pound. I saw them in a 7-11 once but when I went back to get them they were gone. ---

[10lb big enough](http://heavychocolate.com/)? I’ve eaten (a very small part of) a 10lb Toblerone before, but I don’t think they make it any more ☹ ---

I had a 1lb Hershey’s Kiss once. But I think the Jumbo Toblerone takes it, and is more delicious: a 4.5 Kg Toblerone. Nearly 10lbs of chocolately awesomeness. > **[Amazon.com : Toblerone Jumbo, 4.5 Kg, 80 Cm : Candy And Chocolate Bars : Grocery...](https://www.amazon.com/Toblerone-Jumbo-4-5-Kg-80/dp/B004INT01A)** > > Amazon.com : Toblerone Jumbo, 4.5 Kg, 80 Cm : Candy And Chocolate Bars : Grocery & Gourmet Food ---

[Giant Candy.](http://www.candywarehouse.com/candy-type/giant-candy/) It’s not just for chocolate anymore. [26 lb Gummy Bear.](http://www.candywarehouse.com/products/red-26-pound-party-gummy-bear/) With a hole in it’s stomach for a bowl that you can fill with other candy. Like gummi bears. ---

I see that there is that 26 lbs. gummy bear as well as a 26 lbs. gummy python. I wonder what happens if you make a gummy item larger than 26 lbs., does it become self aware or something? ---

26lbs approaches the theoretical upper limit for candy. Any bigger it collapses in on itself and all you have left is a Lifesaver. ---
