If you are a big chocolate lover, you have probably already wondered what the best-selling chocolate in the world is, right?
After all, with so many varieties, flavors and brands out there, it must be difficult for one brand to conquer the position of best-selling chocolate in the world.
If you, like thousands of people, have ever stopped to think about this, know that the time has come for you to find out!
In today's content, we're going to talk more about chocolates and reveal which is the best-selling chocolate in the world!
The brand responsible for the best-selling chocolate in the world
First of all, how about learning a little more about the brand responsible for the best-selling chocolate in the world? Do you know what it is?
Obviously, the brand that makes the best-selling chocolate in the world had to be one of the main brands on the market – and an old acquaintance of Brazilians: Nestlé!
It can be said that the brand's history began in Switzerland, in 1866.
During this period, American brothers Charles and George Page helped create the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company.
This launch gave rise to the first condensed milk factory in Europe, called Milkmaid.
Until then, the product was marketed as a safer alternative with a longer shelf life compared to fresh milk.
The company only adopted the name Nestlé after the merger of the Page brothers with Henri Nestlé, in 1905.
Since then, the brand has gone through several moments and adversities caused by historical events – such as the world wars and the stock market crash of 1929.
But, contrary to what was expected, the company only grew during these periods and became increasingly stronger over the years.
Today, the company has become a true food empire, including products such as: baby food, breakfast cereals, milk powder, dairy products, ice cream, frozen foods and many others. And, of course, chocolates!
After all, what is the best-selling chocolate in the world?
And the question that everyone wants to know is: among dozens of chocolates manufactured by Nestlé, which chocolate has achieved the title of best-selling chocolate in the world?
And the answer is… Kit Kat!
The combination of chocolate-covered wafers is a worldwide success! The chocolate was launched here in Brazil in 1994. However, it did not have the expected response.
As a result, Nestlé soon stopped selling it here in the country.
In 2011, Nestlé tried again to launch the chocolate here and this time the product became a huge success, remaining one of the main chocolates in Brazil to this day, more than 10 years later.
The variety of the Kit Kat brand around the world
Much of chocolate's success is due to one factor: the immense diversity of flavors.
Although Brazil is somewhat limited in this regard – since the most common flavors found here are the traditional ones, white chocolate and dark (semi-sweet) – in other countries the situation is completely different.
A clear example of this is Japan.
In the Asian country, the brand's success is so great that the catalog of available flavors is gigantic. It is estimated that, since 2000, more than 300 Kit Kat flavors have been launched in the country.
This includes fixed and limited editions.
The first 'different' flavor launched by the brand was green tea, in 2004.
Thus, upon becoming extremely popular in the country, the brand saw the opportunity to create new, curious combinations to further win over the Japanese.
Among the flavors available in the country are: pumpkin, banana, sweet potato, coffee with milk, chocolate with banana, tea with milk, black tea, soy flour, green beans, watermelon, melon with cheese, roasted corn, pear, Japanese pepper, sake, wasabi, among others.
So, would you eat any of these different flavors?
Now that you know which is the best-selling chocolate in the world, let's explore another category involving chocolate?
Some of the most expensive chocolates in the world
As you may already know, while there are several product options with affordable prices for a large part of the population, there are also versions of these products for an audience with greater purchasing power.
And it would be no different with chocolates.
There are several options and versions of chocolates that can be considered true delicacies, as they often have prices that can be compared to luxury items.
Therefore, below, we have listed 3 of these chocolates that, despite appearing delicious, are unfortunately not part of the reality of a large part of the population and which may not be the best-selling in the world, but may be the most expensive.

This is one of those brands that is a true reference when it comes to the most expensive luxury chocolates and sweets in the world.
