A train made entirely of chocolate sets the Guinness World Record as the longest chocolate structure in the world.

It's 112 feet long and almost three thousand pounds.

Maltese artist Andrew Farrugia says he spent more than seven hundred hours constructing the train.

It will be on display at various chocolate museums in Belgium — as well as the country's train museum.

Farrugia then plans to sell the train and give the money to a children's charity.
