Whether it’s a Mars Bar, a block of white chocolate or a Kit Kat that’s your preferred choccy bar, chocolate is one of the most common treats around the world. On Britain alone, the annual spend on chocolate is three billion pounds, thats £3,000,000,000! The majority of this is bought from the big 3 companies, Cadburys, Rowntree and Nestle.

Additionally, there are specific extras such as Caramac and Chocolate Orange which are available seasonally or made for limited times.

In recent times, the success of mini treats has risen dramatically, particularly approaching the christmas period. For example, Mars Celebrations can be bought in massive tins approaching the Christmas period, and commonly fly off the shelves immediately before Xmas as demand is that high. Many houses will have tins of treats in preparation for visiors and family gatherings at this time of year.

Reports about the nation’s eating habits come to the headlines of public attention from time to time, and as a result, chocolate manufacturers have set up ideas such as Treatwise to increase people’s awareness of the nutritional value of their products.

Ad breaks on the Television might be fast to imply that chocolate is rich in milk, which we all remember is great for bones and teeth, however a quick look at the packet identifies the inclusion of fat and sugar to highlight a couple. Of course, things in moderation is generally considered as sound advice, and chocolate bars are no exception. Information is the key, and the chocolate makers can’t be claimed to be trying to mask the truth, even if their advertising partners are excelling in their jobs of highlighting product benefits al the expense of faults.
