Candy Bar Dilations

My Geometry students have been working on a project while we were studying proportions and scale factors.  They took their favorite candy bar and basically 'blew it up' while preserving the proportions.  The students did so fantastic on these projects and now my room has giant candy bars hanging from the ceiling.  Here some pictures for you to enjoy.
