Come trick-or-treat season or any time you’re presented with a choice from a candy jar, selecting just one chocolate bar from the mix is about as difficult as picking a favorite child (or so I’ve heard from parents). Sweetness levels vary widely, as does the source of the chocolate, the mix-ins or fillings, the texture, and more.
To help us narrow down the competition and build a shortlist of the best bars for s’mores, snacking, and sneaking into cakes, we called up a handful of our favorite culinary pros from coast to coast for some sweet talk. Read on to discover which chocolate bar these chefs love—plus, brilliant ways to add it to your menu this week.

The Best Chocolate Bar, According to Chefs
Just like with chocolate chip cookies, many of us have a different definition of “perfect” when it comes to chocolate bars. The chefs shared quite a diverse collection of favorites, ranging from trick-or-treat mainstays to trendy artisan chocolates. But only one drew multiple votes, earning the crown from chefs in our poll: Tony’s Chocolonely.

Tony’s Chocolonely is available at Walmart ... I’ve seen it there but never tried it ...
I never heard of it either. Looked it up, apparently it’s made by some extremely woke Dutch company. I might try it if I ever see any for sale, but I’m not going to go to any trouble to get it.

I can assure you that the Snickers Bar is the Holy Grail of candy bars, closely followed by the Nestle’s Crunch. The Kit-Kat is a strong third.
Not only never heard of it, I 'vee never seen it in the stores.
Hershey's woeks juat fine for me though.
I’ve heard some Europeans at Hershey’s tastes like vomit to them because of the butyric acid in it. I don’t taste that acidity- I guess my palate is just too uneducated. For my money Cadbury makes the best milk chocolate. Their sugar coated chocolate eggs at Easter are sublime. Not the ones that have the yellow glop meant to resemble a yolk. I mean the little solid chocolate eggs
Yeah, it’s just the trendy “eco-consciousness” that put Tony’s at the top of the list. The wrapper is festooned with sanctimonious twaddle about “fair trade” and such. Otherwise it’s just very ordinary chocolate. It’s the cheapest option at Walmart, beating out even their own Best Goods chocolates in cost / ounce. That should tell you something.
the most woke chocolate
My wife lived her high school years right up the hill from the Lindt factory in Kilchberg, Switzerland on Lake Zurich. Sentimental favorite and very nice.
Last Easter I noticed they changed the Cadbury egg recipe and they were not at all good. Big crystals of sugar and overpowered by fake chocolate flavoring they were sneaking in. Way too waxy.
Maybe a bad batch. I use to love them.
Hershey choc almond bar...that’s it..,I’ve tried expensive choc and I always prefer hersheys.
Dove milk chocolates, individually wrapped are the best. Not the bars.... they have too much wax in them so they keep their shape.
Doves ARE my drug of choice.

Nestle’s Special Dark Chocolate (or any dark chocolate for that matter). If you don’t like dark chocolate (apparently some people don’t) and someone gives you some, send it to me.
I’m partial to Sarris chocolate and Wilbur chocolate, but those are regional brands in Pennsylvania.
I had close family members that worked in the Hershey Chocolate factory. They couldn’t stand Hershey’s Chocolate.
The smell inside the factory was sickening to me.
