According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the bar weighs over 12,000 pounds. It's enclosed in a climate-controlled environment to keep it from melting.
The chocolate bar is part of a traveling display designed to teach children about, ironically, portion control.
"This huge chocolate bar is basically just to get kids attention," said Maggie Richardson with World's Finest Chocolate. "We're trying to promote healthy eating and staying in shape for kids."
Children got to walk around the candy bar and smell the chocolate from open vents in the glass.
Chocoholics should book themselves tickets to Chicage pronto – because it is currently home to the world’s biggest chocolate bar. Well, until it gets a good nibbling...

The World's Finest Chocolate company has broken the Guinness World Record with a sweet treat weighing 12,000 pounds, measuring 3 feet high and 21 feet long. Sweet!
It is thought that this gooey effort has broken the previous record-breaking choc bar by a ton.
And the recipe certainly contains more ingredients than can be squeezed into the average mixing bowl too, with 1,200 pounds of almonds, 5,500 pounds of sugar, 2,000 pounds of milk powder, 1,700 pounds of cocoa butter and 1,400 pounds of chocolate liquor all included.
Despite the mammoth proportions, the vast bar was made to illustrate 'portion distortion' to school children.
A spokesman for the company said: “We purposely made this bar to be an example of ‘portion distortion’.
“We're committed to educating families about eating right and staying active and doing it in a fun and engaging way.”
