The Top 5 Most Popular Chocolate Bars Around The Globe

We have often heard people equating their chocolate love to their happiness or even a healthy diet.

Chocolates are one of the most popular sweets in the world. As your favorite treat or an everyday snack, there’s nothing quite like indulging in a chocolate of your choice. No matter who you are, a kid, an adult or an oldie, a man or  woman, almost everyone craves for a little piece of chocolate.

Whether you like to eat a whole bar on your own and savor the melt in your mouth, or likes to drink a cup of hot chocolate or eat it as a truffle cake, pastries or pudding, there is no excuse to skip that one bite of heaven.

Dark, milk or white chocolates – everyone has their own favorite flavor they crave for. Whether you prefer a slab of plain chocolate, or you’re an aficionado who refuses anything below 80 percent, or a pure milk chocolate bar lover or someone who indulges in a bit of less melting and more crunch, it’s safe to say that a lot of us would class ourselves as chocoholics.

In fact, sending chocolate care packages to your female friends when they are suffering from a terrible period cramps can do wonders. Dark chocolates are scientifically proven to be a great therapy to relieve you from period cramps and annoying mood swings. They consist of heavier amounts of the healthy cocoa bean (more than 65%) which is high in magnesium, potassium, and iron that help relax your muscles and uplift your mood without you having to consume any calories.

A recent study conducted by Leisure, UK, has analyzed the world’s favorite chocolate bar in each nation using global search volumes. With so many chocolates around the world to choose from, which bars are the most popular across the globe? While everyone has their go-to sweet treat, we’ve looked at the chocolate bars that each country is searching for the most.

*In the case of a tied number of countries, the chocolate with the highest number of global search volumes was chosen

Taking the title for the most popular chocolate bar in the world, Cadbury Dairy Milk makes it to the top of the list. It is the most searched for chocolate bar in 78 countries including India, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa, with a global annual search volume of, on average, 466,680 hashtags, according to Google search data.

In second place is the Mars Bar, which, although has a higher global annual search volume, 816,840 hashtags, is the most searched for chocolate bar in 50 countries, emerging as the favorite chocolate bar for the places including the United Kingdom, United States, and Switzerland. In the UK itself, it was revealed that the chocolate received a monthly search volume of 13,400, placing itself as a clear favorite amongst Brits and beating other favorites such as Lindt chocolate truffles, Ferrero, Kinder Bueno, and Galaxy salted caramel.

Combined, these two brands account for 167 countries with Mars Bar being the favorite for 50 countries, and Cadbury’s chocolate (of the various form) being the favorite for an incredible 117 countries.

Both chocolate giants were founded in Britain: Cadbury in 1824 in Birmingham, and the Mars Bar in 1932 in Slough, proving that the United Kingdom really does know how to make some incredible chocolate.

Other countries’ favorite chocolate bars that made to the list include Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate, Cadbury Caramilk, Lindt Excellence Bar, Cadbury Bournville, Cadbury Crunchie, Cadbury 5 star, Lindt Lindor Bar and Cadbury Flake (ranked in order: 3-10).

Cadbury Caramilk is the favorite for 10 countries, including Australia and New Zealand, and both Cadbury’s Bournville and Crunchie are favorites for eight countries.

We all have our own personal go-to chocolate brands that we love to indulge in when we’re craving a sweet treat. While some of us are loyal to our favorite brands, many of us want to try out new flavors and brands available across the globe, which is why it is fascinating to have a wide array of choices out there.
