Determining which country eats the most chocolate is a complicated question. You see, the amount of chocolate consumed is not directly proportionate to the volume or weight of a chocolate bar. My wife used to work for Hershey's and their chocolate was low in chocolate. And then, there is the question of white chocolate vs Milk Chocolate vs Dark Chocolate? that's not even considering the amount of Hot Chocolate.

choc·o·late [ chókələt, chóklət ] (plural choc·o·lates)

Definition:

Food or flavoring, typically a smooth sweet brown solid, made from roasted and ground cacao seeds usually sweetened and mixed with cocoa butter and dried milk. Chocolate is made into bars or candy, or used to flavor other foods, especially cakes, desserts, sauces, and cookies.

Chocolate comes in varying amounts of cacao (the word for chocolate). The amount of cacao in any one type of chocolate is expressed as a percentage of the overall volume or weight.

Determining the amount consumed depends on not only the volume or weight of the various chocolate types, but also the percentage of cacao contained in the chocolate product. One can contribute to the answer to this question by eating a chocolate bar now!

According to a survey by Chocolate Manufacturers Association, Switzerland leads the world in chocolate consumption with 22.36 pounds per person. Austria and Ireland are not far behind with 20.13 pounds and 19.47 pounds, respectively.

In 2005 Germany was the largest consumer of chocolate with each person eating an average of 11.12 kilograms of chocolate that year.

Definitely a European country; most surveys point to Switzerland as being the largest consumer worldwide.

The United States imports most of the chocolate in the world, but the Swiss eat the most chocolate per person.
