If you're wondering, follow the 'picks' of the DrinKit editors! We carefully examined essential criteria for reasonable food purchases such as taste, flavor, and price. We even ranked them by combining all factors! Who will be the number one winner?

Chocolate bars hold many memories for the editor. Memories of packing one for childhood picnics, mini-sized chocolate bars always present as snacks at various expos and lectures, and grabbing one quickly at a convenience store to satisfy hunger and sugar cravings. In this way, chocolate bars are closely woven into our daily lives.

However, standing in front of the convenience store shelf, many have spent a long time deciding which chocolate bar to pick among the various types. Each has a different taste and appeal, and depending on the mood and situation?whether you urgently need a sugar boost or want to satisfy hunger?the choice changes. So, we gathered four of the most easily available and well-known chocolate bars in one place. Although we've tried each individually, we've never examined them all together in detail, making this content even more exciting!

The tastes of the DrinKit editors vary greatly, so let's taste them together and see each editor's favorite, whether their favorite chocolate bar changes, and what opinions are shared! Just reading the text or looking at the photos will boost your chocolate blood level?that's a bonus! Today, rather than selecting a number one, we recommend focusing on the editors' opinions and reading through to the end.

Preference 1
Snickers

To sum up Snickers in one sentence, it feels like soft peanut caramel coated once with chocolate. Every bite offers the crunchy, savory taste of peanuts. This means it contains a lot of peanuts?22.8%. Just as you savor the nuttiness, the sweetness of chocolate and caramel lingers in your mouth. Although it contains caramel, it does not have a stretchy texture, making it neat and easy to eat, and it doesn't leave many crumbs, which is another advantage. The caramel ratio inside the chocolate is not very high, so it is less sweet than expected. You can easily buy a 4cm mini size at convenience stores, so it is recommended for those who find the larger size burdensome. Occasionally, a slight peanut rancid smell can be detected, which is a downside.

Preference 2
Hot Break

The packaging boldly states that it contains 27% almonds and peanuts, giving the impression of a more diverse and abundant variety of nuts. The light chocolate is not overly sweet, making it easy to eat simply?even though it contains cookie bits! Thanks to the nuts, among the four chocolate bars introduced today, it has the thickest width. If you want to eat a chocolate bar for a sugar boost or prefer a heavy sweetness, you might want to skip Hot Break. But if you think nuts are the core of a chocolate bar, pick Hot Break without a second thought and taste it. Be aware that its shape breaks easily and it produces many crumbs.

Preference 3
Jayu Sigan (Free Time)

Those who have experienced jaw pain while eating chocolate bars should pay attention. If you are looking for a soft texture, there may be no better chocolate bar than this. Jayu Sigan boasts the softest texture among the four and contains 18% peanuts. Looking at the cross-section, it contains no caramel, so it is not sticky and can be eaten cleanly. It does not have the characteristic nutty smell, and its taste is more like milk chocolate than bitter chocolate, with the sweetness of chocolate being the mildest. Because it has less peanut content and no caramel, it is good for enjoying the pure sweetness of chocolate. However, some may find it somewhat dry, so please keep that in mind.

Preference 4
Ghana Chocobar Almond

The iconic chocolate Ghana's Ghana Chocobar Almond has a strong cocoa flavor. Inside the coated chocolate, there is a lot of caramel, giving it a stretchy texture, which causes it to stick to your mouth and even your teeth in various places. The intense chocolate flavor, as if the Ghana chocolate itself has been melted, and the taste of almonds, which make up 19%, are both clearly felt. It is uniquely characterized by using roasted almonds! Compared to Snickers, which contains caramel, Snickers features a sticky caramel flavor, while Ghana is a chocolate bar with a strong cocoa taste despite having a lot of caramel.

Sugar Content Relative to Calories

After tasting all four chocolate bars, all are similar in size at 9?10cm. Hot Break is the thickest and heaviest, followed by Jayu Sigan and Ghana, which are similar. Snickers is the thinnest and lightest. The sugar content relative to calories is as follows.

Hot Break : 50g / 249kcal = 4.98

Jayu Sigan (Free Time) : 36g / 172kcal = 4.77

Ghana : 43g / 205kcal = 4.76

Snickers : 51g / 240kcal = 4.7

Editors' PICK!

Sunditer: My favorite used to be Jayu Sigan, which allowed me to enjoy freedom, but after tasting them together, my favorite changed to Hot Break. I believe the core of a chocolate bar is the nuts, and since it contains the most peanuts & almonds, both the texture and satiety were satisfying. Also, it is not overly sweet, so it’s a good pick for a light snack when you’re a bit hungry!

Bomditer: ★God★ Snickers! After tasting all four, none can surpass it for my personal preference! If you’re weak for chocolate but like the taste of caramel, definitely choose Snickers! The mini size is also easily available at convenience stores; small and precious, but it can recharge your sugar and lift your mood!

Aditer: If you like nuts, Hot Break! Its thickness matches the strong nutty flavor, making the balance of sweetness and nuttiness GOOD! And a rediscovery was Ghana Chocobar. When I ate it before, it felt like a junk food chocolate, but this time, the stretchy caramel and chocolate combination was fantastic♡
