I&#8217;m sure Mr Gustave Eiffel must have been delighted when it was left up, especially considering he&#8217;d built himself a small apartment near the top.  My chocolate Eiffel Tower is most definitely a temporary structure, made entirely of chocolate bars glued together with &#8230; more chocolate of course. There&#8217;s not much chance of it lasting over 100 years but it might just make it to Bastille Day! And, like Gustave, I think that the creator should reserve the top level just for their own enjoyment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3m3oJ-ey84g (2.96 ounces)\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"fn\">To make this chocolate Eiffel tower you need:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Eiffel Tower Template<\/strong><br \/>\n\t<p class=\"product woocommerce add_to_cart_inline \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<a href=\"?add-to-cart=36084\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-product_id=\"36084\" data-product_sku=\"\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"button buy-it-now-button add_to_cart_button product_type_simple\"><span class='button-label'>Buy<\/span><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&#36;<\/span>4.99<\/bdi><\/span><\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<p>28 Curly Wurly chocolates (you can get them online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005CFCA0G\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B005CFCA0G&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=howtocookthat-20&#038;linkId=ef8f3ce5546d5d613493ec692ab0b1d1\" title=\"curly wurly\" target=\"_blank\" rel='nofollow'>here<\/a>) plus a few extras, in case there are broken ones<br \/>\n2 x 350g (12.35 ounces) blocks of chocolate<br \/>\n700g (24.69 ounces) chocolate for joins<br \/>\n4 x strong chocolate bars for each bottom corner of the legs (I used Boost bars)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P2140830-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate eiffel tower anne reardon\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-36029\" data-wp-pid=\"36029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P2140830-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P2140830-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P2140830-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/P2140830-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>150g (5.29 ounces) grey fondant for the concrete under the tower<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ganache<\/strong><br \/>\n210g (7.41 ounces) chocolate<br \/>\n70g (2.47 ounces) or 1\/4 cup plus 2 tsp cream<br \/>\nHeat the cream and pour it over the chocolate.
