HOUSTON – The Hilton Americas Houston hotel and their famous chocolate display is back and more *super* than ever!
The downtown hotel is once again bringing an extra dose of cheer to Houstonians and visitors this holiday season with their famous life size chocolate display, with this year’s theme being Super Mario Bros.
The giant display is made of 1,300 pounds of dark chocolate, 1,000 pounds of white chocolate, 500 pounds of icing, 20 gallons of corn syrup, 100 pounds of chocolate gravel and 2,500 hours of work (Nov 17 - Dec 29).

This is a fan favorite every year, and watch as Lauren Kelly chats with Executive Chef Ruffy Sulaiman, and Pastry Chef Mahesh Weerasinghe about all the hard work that went into this year’s sweet creation.
