Toblerone
You don't have to be a big chocolate lover to know about Toblerone. The brand, of Swiss origin, was created in 1908 and the people responsible for creating the chocolate were the Swiss Theodor Tobler and Emil Baulmann.
With its characteristic triangular shape, the brand is now one of the most famous when it comes to chocolate. Today, Toblerone is a global brand and is present in more than 120 countries around the world.
Milka
Another well-known brand around the world is Milka. After all, the brand's lilac packaging really catches the attention of consumers in the chocolate section of supermarkets.

With its name derived from the main ingredients used in chocolate production – MILk (milk, in English) and KAkao (cocoa, in English) – the brand also emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1901.
Over time, Milka has expanded its products beyond chocolate. Among its products, the company also has lines of cookies, alfajores and chocolate-covered biscuits.
Kit Kat
Continuing our content, it's time to talk about one of the most famous chocolate brands in the world: Kit Kat. It's impossible to talk about chocolate names and not mention it.
Chocolate – which is a real craze throughout Brazil and in several countries around the world – was created in 1935, in England.
The brand, which is produced by Nestlé, was launched here in Brazil in 1994. However, with sales below expectations, it didn't take long for the company to stop selling the product here.
It was only in 2011 – almost 20 years later – that, due to the celebration of Nestlé's 90th anniversary in Brazil and the 75th anniversary of the official launch of Kit Kat, the company resumed its activities here.
And, unlike the previous attempt, this time the product was a real success!
In addition to Brazil, another country where Kit Kat is a huge success is Japan. The difference is that the portfolio of products available in the Asian country is much larger than ours. In Japan, flavors such as watermelon, melon with cheese, corn and wasabi are sold and, believe it or not, are a huge hit among the Japanese.
Ferrero Rocher
If we take into account the packaging aspect, Ferrero Rocher is one of the highlights of this list. After all, it is one of the most classic chocolate names!
Originating in 1946, in Italy, the objective of the Ferrero Group – responsible for the creation of chocolate – was to offer a chocolate that was more refined and different from the options present on the market at the time.
The bonbon, which consists of a hazelnut filled and covered in chocolate, is nowadays one of the references when it comes to chocolate.
And, despite its price being a little more 'salty' than other options on the market, with its very characteristic golden packaging and its different flavor, Ferrero Rocher has won a legion of fans around the world and also earned a place on this list.
Lindt & Sprüngli
The Lindt & Sprüngli brand – or simply Lindt, as it is better known – was founded in 1845 in Zurich, Switzerland. It was so successful that the company has only grown since then! And one proof of this success is that the brand is now known for having one of the largest chocolate factories in the world!
With an extensive variety of chocolates in its catalogue, Lindt products have become great ways to give someone a gift on a special date.
The group, which has been present in Brazil since 1969, has more than 45 stores spread across the country.
M&M's
Another brand that is guaranteed to be present all over the world is M&M's. After all, who has never wanted to eat a 1kg bag of M&M's alone?
The brand, which was founded in 1941, belongs to Mars, a global chocolate manufacturer based in Virginia, United States. Since then, the brand has grown significantly, adding several products and new flavors to its catalog. But the public's favorites remain the most traditional: milk chocolate and peanut.
And, of course, we can't talk about M&M's without mentioning the talking M&M's, which are the company's mascots. They are largely responsible for the brand's success.
Nestle
It's impossible to list the most famous chocolate brands in the world and leave Nestlé out, right? After all, who doesn't have their favorite Nestlé chocolate bar and/or candy bar?
The brand, which was founded in 1866 in Switzerland, has built a true empire in the food sector. Today, in addition to chocolates and derivatives, Nestlé's product catalog also includes baby food, breakfast cereals, drinks, ice cream and much more!
Cocoa Show
This one is special for Brazilians! Founded in 1988, Cacau Show started because of Easter. What started as a simple chocolate resale business by founder Alexandre Tadeu da Costa – who was 17 at the time – became one of the biggest successes in Brazil.
The company's success is huge. Despite having only been on the market for a short time – compared to other chocolate brands – Cacau Show is one of the largest national brands, present in almost every Brazilian state, with more than 2,000 stores.
This makes Cacau Show one of the largest chocolate store chains in the world and one of the main names in chocolate here in Brazil.
Copenhagen
Despite its name, Kopenhagen is another Brazilian company that was founded in 1928.
Focused on selling chocolates, its Christmas and Easter commemorative lines are very popular among chocolate lovers. Kopenhagen's chocolate chocolates and Easter eggs have become very meaningful gifts for these times of year.
Hershey's
And to close our list, we have Hershey's, an American company and one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the world.
Being one of the oldest on the list – it was founded in 1898 – today the company is present in more than 60 countries around the world. The company's history began when its founder, Milton Hershey, decided to make chocolate – which was, until then, considered a luxury item – a product more accessible to everyone.
