22 April 1994 - WORLD'S LARGEST LOLLIPOP: Weighing 3,011 pounds, made by BonBon, a candy factory in Home-Olstrup, Denmark; record later broken
when See's made a chocolate-flavored lollipop, and built a mold with the
a length of 4 ft 8.75 in (1.44 m), a width of 3 ft 6 in (1.07 m), and a
height of 5 feet 11 in (1.8 m).
The previous largest lollipop record stood at a hefty 6,514 lb. (2 954.7
kg).
To surpass the previous mark, the final product had to be in one solid
piece, resembling an oversized version of a regular lollipop.
With a final weigh-in of 7,003 lb. (3,176.5 kg), the giant lollipop was equivalent to 145,000 regular-sized lollipops.

Safflower oil
2 Plastic 6-count lollipop
- molds
8 oz White chocolate
8 oz Bittersweet chocola
12 Lollipop sticks
12 Red cellophane bags (opt)

Lightly oil lollipop molds. In small bowl set over
