For those who consider themselves true chocoholics, an Irvine, California-based company called ChocXO is selling three-foot bags of chocolate. Packed with more than 2,000 individually-wrapped squares of chocolate, each of the gigantic candy bags contain enough of the sweet stuff to last a lifetime.
Standing at three-feet tall, each of ChocXO's giant bags of chocolate weighs a whopping 22-pounds. The bags are available in two flavors, meaning they can be filled with either the brand's Organic 56% Dark Chocolate, or its 37% Milk Chocolate.
Sold for $325 each, the bags are largely intended for showrooms, clients, landlords, or office buildings. Of course, those who think the bags are a good fit for their home can also pick up one of the giant candy pouches for less than $200 at discount stores like T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods.
