What do you define as a chocolate bar?
This is a genuine question. I'm trying to figure out the actual definition of what makes a chocolate bar a chocolate bar and not a candy or granola bar.
I know that Hershey's, Crunch, and Dove bars are 100% chocolate bars. They are bars made of solid chocolate.
Easy.
However, what confuses me is how people define chocolate bars. Are they simply ingredients in a bar form covered in or made of chocolate?
Then what about chocolate covered granola bars? Should those not be considered chocolate bars simply because they are filled with granola? Why does granola differentiate the type of bar, but nougat, caramel, nuts, and cookie don't?
Milky Ways, Mars Bars, Snickers, and Twix all call themselves chocolate bars. It's on their official company websites and on Wikipedia.
But, Kit Kats, Butterfingers, Almond Joys, 3 Musketeers, and Baby Ruths are defined as [u]candy bars.[/u]
Now, what the heck is the difference between a 3 Musketeers and a Milky Way? Why is one a chocolate bar and the other a candy bar?
Chocolate bars are candy bars, but not all candy bars are chocolate bars. What the heck is the difference and who makes these distinctions?
Should a chocolate bar just be defined as any snack in bar form that has chocolate as the main ingredient?
But then, why do people consider snacks like Butterfingers as candy bars?
This is so confusing.

I'm sure it's counterintuitive to the argument, but chocolate bar and candy bar are synonymous around here

Anything that is a bar and made of chocolate

If the most obvious part of the bar is the chocolate, it's a chocolate bar. Plain and simple.

Edited by Thaddeus Hamlet: 9/7/2017 9:58:52 AMIt's weird. Generally I'd say anything that is over 50% chocolate is a chocolate bar. But then we call Kit Kat a chocolate bar and not a "chocolate covered wafer." Granola bar is abar made of granola sometimes covered in chocolate. I've never heard the term "candy bar" in my area.

Must be made of chocolate... must be long and rectangle... Just like a chocolate bar!?!

Edited by Moosey7103: 9/7/2017 3:20:34 AMI'd say that it would be a bar, where the majority ingredient is chocolate. The term "candy bar" would be for when the other ingredients in it added up to a majority share of "unhealthy" foods that were high in sugar. Thus, granola bars with chocolate in them wouldn't fit either description. Whereas, confections such as Butterfingers would be "candy bars", since the center of them is still considered "candy", and thus the majority share of the bar is still composed of sugary foods. Chocolate bars can have candy in them, and candy bars can have chocolate in them, but something cannot be both. If you had a confection that was 50% chocolate, and 50% other candy, that would be an affront to nature, and should be destroyed by eating it. [spoiler]That was fun to think about, thanks![/spoiler]

Contains chocolate, over priced and bad for you.

However it's advertised is what I consider it.

Edited by Scoose_McGoose: 9/6/2017 11:21:58 AMIt has to be mainly chocolate. No coating of chocolate, just hard chocolate. In order to be a chocolate bar, it has to be 3/4 chocolate.

Anything dark and long.

You dug way too deep

Anything containing 40%cocoa at the least and no biscuit caramel etc just chocolate.

If a bar is primarily chocolate, then I consider it a chocolate bar. Hershey's is completely chocolate, so it's a chocolate bar. Butterfinger is an even split of chocolate, peanut butter crumble and wafer, so it's not a chocolate bar.

It is bar made of chocolate, a chocolate bar if you will.
