Calif. candy store attempts world's largest peanut butter cup

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (WLS) -- A California candy store hopes a giant chocolate concoction will land them in the record books.

North Hollywood's The Candy Factory has set out to break the world record for the largest peanut butter cup.

Workers poured the chocolate and peanut butter into a kiddie swimming pool.

The current record-holder is a Vermont chocolate shop which made a 230-pound cup, but these dessert makers hope their creation will top that.
