Marshmallows! What comes to ones mind about the small chewy sweet is that it can be eaten in one bite. However, the new record-breaking marshmallow created by a popular confectionary company Dulces Mazapán de la Rosa is no small feat.

Earlier this year, the candy company created a marshmallow that weighed 648.4 kg. With this, the gigantic sweet became the world’s largest marshmallow. For scale, the marshmallow weighed more than a Steinway D274 grand piano that weighs just 480 kg (1,058 lb).

It was unveiled at a special event that was a part of the 200th-anniversary celebrations of the state of Jalisco in Mexico. The marshmallow’s record was verified in public at a temporary industrial plant installed at the Plaza Fundadores, a popular urban square in Guadalajara.
