What affects chocolate bar weight
- Bar size. Fun-size, standard, and family blocks differ greatly.
- Fillings. Caramel, nuts, and wafers change the bar's weight.
- Chocolate density. Solid chocolate is dense, so bars feel heavy for their size.
- Brand. Each brand makes bars to a specific net weight.
- Region. Standard bar sizes vary between countries.
- Aeration. Whipped or aerated chocolate weighs less than solid for the same size.
