The Mars bar comes in different sizes but the texture and flavour is the same signature one. The brand has claimed that this brand has an unforgettable and memorable experience with chocolate. The caramel caresses the core chocolate which is the best part.

What these chocolate bars aim at is to give everyone access to their product and that is why they directly declare that these bars are suitable for vegans and those who suffer from diabetes as well.
Ferrero
Ferrero always seems like that far fetched brand which can look intimidating with their attractive packaging. And the packaging does justice to what’s inside because they are just delicious!
- Ferrero Rocher can easily be the best brand the country has seen in a long time. Even though the brand has been around forever in India it still manages to incite curiosity and excitement in the audience.
The quality of this brand is top-notch and explains why the price range is such.
Hershey chocolates
Hershey’s is a brand that also focuses on the quality of the chocolates they provide and has always been on top of people’s expectations. And sometimes even better.
- The kisses edition of Hershey’s really exceeds your expectations in the sense that it has a cream filling and a very rich chocolate texture which makes it one of the best chocolates available in India.
We also love Brookside which is also from Hershey’s which comes with a tinge of different flavours like blackcurrant, raspberry and other exotic flavours.
Lotte
Lotte choco pie can always be etched to our minds as the cakey chocolate that has the power to satisfy hunger while also being chocolaty.
- Each pack of these contains 8 cakes which work super well for those who love cake and chocolate.
They have a marshmallow layer in between which makes it stand out from other brands of chocolates or even cakes for that matter. Even though they are small in size they are pretty thick and filling.

Fabelle is India’s very own luxury chocolate brand and it happens to be extraordinary in taste. Each chocolate piece is handmade and is one of kind. Most importantly, these chocolates are made from the finest cocoa that’s sourced from places like the Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Venezuela, Ghana and much more.
Fabelle is ITC’s brand and is less than 5 years old making it extremely late to the Chocolate game in India. However, the outstanding quality, luxurious taste and pricing has helped this brand become of the best in the country.
They also have a store in ITC Gardenia Bengaluru that sells various types of handmade chocolates, desserts and even ice cream. They even created the most expensive chocolate in the world for around 4.3 Lakhs per KG.

Yup Chocolates do have benefits. While chocolates do get a lot of bad rep as being one of the major contributors to high blood sugar and obesity (which is true to a certain extent), it does have it’s pros as well.

These also prevent the oxidation of LDL which makes it one of the best foods out there for heart heath. This dark chocolate, of course, should be near 100% dark.
