We scoff 154 choccie bars a year

Choccie
The average person in Britain chomps through 154 choccie bars a year, according to a report.

It means the UK has more chocoholics than other major European countries.

Brits get through 10kg a year, compared with 8.3kg in Germany, 5.8kg in France and 3.8kg in Spain. We spend an average of £6.30 per kilogram on choccie.

The UK chocolate market is expected to be worth £3.6m this year, but it's grown by less than 1% - probably due to fears about fat content and obesity.

It's thought that choccie makers will respond to this by coming up with more sugar-free products.
