has highlighted that Britain consumes 660,900 tonnes of chocolate a
year! Broken down this staggering number calculates to 11kg per
person per year and equals three bars of chocolate each week. These
numbers showcase just how loved chocolate is, but do chocoholics know
where it comes from and the history of delicious chocolate?
