Mmm…chocolate!

As I sit here waiting for my fellow car insurance colleague to return from the shops with my chocolate order, I am unable to concentrate on anything that is not chocolate related so I thought I would put my chocolate distraction to good use and have a look at some chocolatey facts that might interest people.

• Brits spend around £5 billion a year on chocolate, £80 million of that is spent at Easter.


• We munch our way through 200 million creme eggs every year.


• The Brits only fall behind the Swiss in chocolate consumption, eating around 8.6kg of chocolate a year.


• The biggest selling chocolate bar in England continues to be Cadury's Dairy Milk with over 250 million bars sold every year.

For me, when it comes to chocolate for every day consumption, nothing can really beat Maltesers although why they bother putting 'more to share' on their party sized packs is anyone's guess - as if you'd ever share a bag of your favourite chocolate!
