Chocolate is an enduring, beloved treat in Europe. The average British, Swiss, or Germans citizen ate, on average, 17-pounds of the stuff last year.

It took a prolonged 30-year court battle for the EU to reach an agreement as to how to define the stuff, as some countries, like the UK, add vegetable fat to their treats, while most of continental Europe defines the sugary goodness as only containing cocoa butter.
