Home Sweet Home: Building a Chocolate Igloo

October 18, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Tid Bits & News at 10:27 am |

Of all the types of materials to build an igloo with, I’d have to say using chocolate bricks sounds like not only a dream I had last night but a marvelous idea.

A dark chocolate igloo of sorts was built in Italy for the Eurochocolate Fair in Perugia. The delicious structure weighed in at 8,000 pounds & stands at about 54 feet high. Now that is a lot of chocolate!

Truth be told, a regular ice igloo takes about three hours to complete, while this yummy dark chocolate one took about 23 hours! The trouble was that the chocolate would melt & sometimes crumble during construction.

One of the chocolate igloo builders said that the process was “much more difficult than building a normal snow igloo.” I guess it helps when you have freezing temperatures & snowcapped mountains to build an ice igloo compared with an indoor, climate-controlled environment.
