Here are our Top 10 American Chocolate Bars...

#10. Almond Joy Candy Bar

Since 1946, the Almond Joy Candy Bar has been delivering nutty deliciousness for those who embrace their nuttiness.

This old-fashioned candy bar is filled with a chewy, tender coconut center topped off with whole almonds and coated in a creamy, rich layer of milk chocolate.

Every bite is satisfying because of these incredible flavor combinations and that unbelievably chewy texture.

Invented by Peter Paul Inc. in Connecticut, the Almond Joy chocolate bar was made famous in a 1977 commercial that said, "Sometimes you feel like a nut."

We can all relate to feeling a little "nutty" sometimes, but nothing can compare to the delicious joy of eating the Almond Joy Candy Bar!

#9. 5th Avenue Candy Bar

A bar of sheer indulgence! The 5th Avenue Candy Bar is filled with layers of crunchy peanut butter and encased in a layer of rich milk chocolate. It entices you with its very classy name, but pulls you in when your lips meet this delectable candy bar.

We've been experiencing the sweet exhilaration of the 5th Avenue Bar since 1936. Somehow, those textures and exquisite flavours just never get old.

William H. Luden, who made the Luden's Cough Drops, bestowed these candy bars upon hungry chocolate lovers. Perhaps he ate too many cough drops and craved something more chocolatey.

There is no explanation for why this candy bar is named 5th Avenue, but our thought is that Mr. Luden wanted his candy bar to be equivalent to the level of sophistication you would find on New York's 5th Avenue. 

Deep pockets or not, if you have exquisite taste buds, the 5th Avenue Chocolate Bar will leave you reeling in deliciousness!

#8. Twix Candy Bars

Double your chocolate-eating pleasure with the twice-is-always-nice taste of Twix chocolate! These incredible-tasting twin bars offer two bars of a crunchy buttery-tasting biscuit middle, topped off with luscious and golden caramel, encased in rich milk chocolate.

Twix Candy Bars are iconic and serve up that creamy, crunchy, dreamy texture all in one bite. The great thing about the Twix Chocolate Bar is that there are two of them, making it great for sharing or saving a half for later!

But that's pretty weak for any candy connoisseur. If you choose to indulge in a Twix, we say go and enjoy its dual deliciousness!

Introduced in America in 1979, Twix is a delightful-tasting candy bar that has been enjoyed and unwillingly shared for generations!

With a growing line of products, Twix offers a variety of flavors, including Twix Salted Caramel, Twix White, Twix Cookies and Creme Bars, and many, many more!

The Twix Candy Bars have a classic taste that never gets old!

#7. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Move over, peanut butter and jam—there's a new kid in town! OK, technically not a chocolate bar, but the delicious blend of chocolate and peanut butter makes it a legendary treat adored worldwide and a flavor match made in candy heaven! It's hands down the ultimate power couple of the entire Candyverse!

The contribution to our chocolate-craving taste buds is nothing short of remarkable. This dynamic duo of creamy milk chocolate cups that hold inside a crumbly and slightly salty peanut butter middle are nothing short of phenomenal!

Introduced to the world in 1928, and the brainchild of H.B Reese, these remarkable candy cups have become an American chocolate staple.

Once upon a time, these went by "Penny Cups" and were sold for one cent each.

Mr. Reese once worked as a dairy farmer for Milton S. Hershey until he left to pursue his own candy empire, but don't worry—there was never any bad blood between the two. In fact, H.B. Reese used Hershey's Chocolate for his cups right from the start!

The success of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups has grown exponentially. These heavenly cups of chocolate and peanut butter have spanned the world with countless variations of the iconic flavor duo that we call Reese's chocolate.

You can even buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in astounding one-pound packages, which is a dream come true for many of us!

May your cup always overflow with the delectable taste of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

#6. Heath Bar

Destined to be in the limelight, the milk chocolate and buttery English Toffee are the ultimate power couple!

The Heath Chocolate Bar offers more than just its substantial taste. Its crunch is one of a kind and is very apparent in each bite. A balance of sweet chocolate notes and the slightly salty taste of the toffee make this bar a superstar!

Arriving in the candy world in 1932, the Heath candy bar has awakened generations' taste buds! Created by the Heath brothers, this decadent chocolate was once called "Heath English Toffee."

This candy bar was also boasted as being "America's Finest," describing it as a high-quality bar. 

The Heath brothers began selling this delicious creation from their father's dairy farm truck, where they were once employed before gaining widespread success.

Following the success of selling from the farm truck, the brothers joined forces and founded the Heath Candy Company.

And we are forever grateful because the enticing crunch of the Heath Bar never gets old!

#5. 100 Grand Bar

Life is grand when you've got a 100 Grand Bar in hand! 

This candy bar is constructed with a crispy puffed rice center, golden silk caramel and a generous coating of milk chocolate. Filled with both crispy and smooth textures, this American Candy Bar is irresistibly delicious!

A popular choice since its sweet debut in 1964, the 100 Grand Chocolate Bar is a taste of sweet sophistication. Its name comes from the era when televised game shows were at an all-time high.

This delicious chocolate bar was first called the hundred thousand dollar bar, then later simplified to 100 Grand. 

This chocolate bar has also had its fair share of fame, including when it was featured on The Office and when Michael Scott referred to it in his motivational business speech.

The box full was also gifted to the lead actors on the hit show Friends when they demanded $100,000.00 per episode. We wonder if they ever ate them.

In any case, the sensational taste of the 100 Grand Bar will never leave us a dollar short!

#4. Kit Kat Candy Bar

That crispy sound of chocolate bars breaking is music to our ears! The Kit Kat Candy Bar offers four fingers of pure deliciousness! Filled with those famous crisp and light wafers and covered in a layer of milk chocolate. 

The snap of this candy bar never gets old!

This household candy bar was introduced to the English public in 1935, before reaching America in 1940. From the beginning, Kit Kat chocolate gained a hungry fanbase and has held its legendary status for generations.

This candy bar is devoured worldwide and is especially loved in Japan, where over 300 limited-edition renditions are available. 

The original Kit Kat has expanded & evolved over the years to include Kit Kat Chunky, Kit Kat Duos, Kit Kat Birthday Cake, and Kit Kat Pops... the choices are endless!

Go on, and give yourself that well-earned break with the Kit Kat Chocolate Bar!

#3. Butterfinger 

The irresistible taste of the famous Butterfinger Candy Bar has been alive and well since its delicious debut in 1923. Containing a crispy and crunchy peanut butter flake filling with a rich coating of milk chocolate.

Every bite is filled with the crowning glory of that crisp peanut butter texture and delectable taste.

As the package states, it's "crispety," "crunchety," and, of course, "peanut-Buttery," which makes it oh-so deliciously enjoyable.

During its public debut, they needed a way to boost sales of this candy bar. Hence, they did what anyone would do: they cleverly remedied the situation by dropping Butterfinger Chocolate Bars out of an airplane! 

During this stunt, they had the candy bars attached to tiny parachutes to get them to land on the ground safely and get the people talking! They decided to do this in New York, which caused a big stir when people started racing to get their hands on a Butterfinger chocolate bar.

Bart Simpson from the iconic cartoon, The Simpsons, further cemented the idea of this bar's deliciousness by warning others "not to lay a finger on my Butterfinger". We agree, we suggest you get your fingers on your irresistible Butterfinger Candy Bar! (You can thank us later)  

#2. Snickers Candy Bar

This American chocolate bar really has it all! The Snickers Candy Bar has been in the hungry grip of our chocolate-loving hands since 1930. It's a hefty bar that will squelch any hunger, big or small. 

It delights us for decades with a middle of fluffy nougat, silky golden caramel, crunchy peanuts, and a coating of rich milk chocolate. Who in their right mind could resist that?

Named after his racehorse, creator Frank Mars, of Mars Incorporated, created the Snickers chocolate bar in his kitchen. It took him three years to get it right, and our taste buds give him a great big, heartfelt thanks for it!

To this day, Snickers remains a highly sought-after chocolate bar. It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, such as Snickers White Candy Bar, Snickers Peanut Brownie, and Snickers Crunchy Peanut Butter. We could go on and on with the list if you let us.

But let's face it, the staying power of Snickers only comes down to one thing — it always satisfies!

#1. Hershey's Chocolate Bar

This classic chocolate bar has swept us off our feet since its sweet debut in 1900. Its longevity and long history do not let it fade in the background of our candy-eating memories; in fact, Hershey’s remains a favorite among candy lovers! 

It was just a few short years after Milton Hershey opened the Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894 that his chocolate bar became a household name.

A bar of delicious simplicity, the Hershey's Chocolate Bar has also been dubbed the "Great American Chocolate Bar". The creamy-tasting milk chocolate without any additional frills has victoriously captured the taste buds of generations! 

Maybe the farm-fresh milk they use in each bar gives it that distinctive taste and texture. 

Long live the Hershey Bar! It's got staying power, and the proof is in the pudding—or, in this case, the chocolate!
