The amount of chocolate Brits eat during their entire life has been revealed

The typical Brit will munch through almost 1.5 tonnes of chocolate worth more than £12K in their lifetime, according to a study.

Researchers polled 2,000 UK adults and found they’ll each tuck into 7,004 bars on average – including 1,642 dark chocolate, 1,425 white and 3,934 milk, weighing in at 315kg.

The nation’s favourite is Cadbury Dairy Milk, with those polled typically consuming 22 of them in total every year and 1,317 in their lifetime.

Snickers secured second spot, with Brits devouring 14 bars a year, and the third most popular choccy treat is a Bounty with 12 bars consumed annually.

CLOSER chocolate bars we miss

Cadbury1 of 23

1) Cadbury Coconut Boost

The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!

2) Dairy Milk Tiffin

After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

3) Mars Delight

That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.

4) Cadbury Marble

Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.

5) Cadbury Spira

Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.

6) Time Out

The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.

7) Cadbury Snow Flake

The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!

8) Rowntree's Cabana

Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?

Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.

11) Cadbury Fuse

Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.

12) Terry's Pyramint

Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!

13) KitKat Senses

We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.

14) Milkybar Choo

We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.

15) Cadbury Taz Bar

When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.

16) Twix Top

This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!

17) Cadbury Snaps

They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!

18) Rowntree's Secret

Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.

19) Cadbury Wispa Mint

We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.

The mighty chew.

21) Flyte

Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.

White chocolate maltesers22 of 23

21) White maltesers

Despite fans clamouring for the return of the white chocolate delights, Mars say they have no intention of bringing them back. Sob!

Galaxy Truffle23 of 23

23) Galaxy Truffle

The fan favourite was inexplicably removed and replaced by Twix in Celebrations tubs back in 2011. It's clear that some people are not over it as a petition was made in 2018 to bring the chocolate back.A spokesperson said: "We're always interested in hearing our fans' views on the products they love, but we don't have any current plans to bring back Galaxy Truffles."Get in the bin.

Commissioned by leading savings site, VoucherCodes, the research also found four in 10 Brits admit to being a chocoholic.

And six in 10 would ‘hate’ to live in a world without the cocoa-based treat.

It also emerged Brits will crack into a total of 104 Easter Eggs during their lifetime – that’s 13kg of chocolate overall.

It’s not just bars and Easter eggs we’re munching our way through, 668 slices of chocolate cake will be savoured – working out to be 44kg.

Almost 3,000 mugs of silky hot chocolate will be downed, weighing in at 943kg.

And they’ll nibble away at 8,719 or 92kg of biscuits or cookies containing chocolate over their lifetime.

Despite being devout chocolate fans, nine in 10 revealed they are willing to share a box of chocolate.

Carried out through OnePoll.com, the research also found those polled eat chocolate on 123 separate days throughout the course of a typical year.

Amid this, 40 per cent admit they spend ‘too much’ on chocolate and four in 10 think it is simply too expensive.

Eager to get their ‘fix', 12 per cent have pinched chocolate from colleagues at work and 35 per cent have ‘borrowed’ it from their partner.

But most shockingly of all, 28 per cent have nabbed it from their own children. For thefull survey results click here.
