(CNN) The candy war has begun and it's on like Donkey Kong. Two weeks ago, weighing in at more than 4,700 pounds and measuring 2 feet high and 26 inches wide, the Guinness Book of World Records declared Waco, Texas, as the home to the world's largest chocolate nut bar -- a Snickers the size of 43,000 single-size candy bars put together. Hershey has one-upped Mars with an even bigger version of a Reese's Take 5 candy bar weighing 5,943 pounds and measuring 9 feet long by 5.5 feet wide by 2 feet high, the Hershey Company said. The spirit of record-breaking is quite competitive -- and just ahead of game day, @reeses has taken Snickers' record for the world's largest chocolate nut bar 😍🍫😛 https://t.co/wp67qbskdR pic.twitter.com/fh2q9PIWPc — GuinnessWorldRecords (@GWR) January 31, 2020The enormous candy bar took five days to create and was presented Friday at Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey, Pennsylvania. "The Reese's team believes records, even those just a few weeks old, are meant to be broken," said Veronica Villasenor, senior director of the Reese's brand.
