Dairy Milk, which first rolled off the Cadbury production line in 1905 led the field by some margin, perhaps not surprisingly given that Brits go through 16 million of them a day1.
The survey, conducted by money-saving site Voucherbox questioned Brits on their love for chocolate, with the full top ten favourites for Easter in Nottinghamshire is as follows:

The survey also found that one in four people in Nottinghamshire are spending approximately £219 a year on chocolate as they get their daily fix.
Yet 41 per cent of those surveyed have no idea how much they’re spending, and almost half of respondents (48%) say the cost wouldn’t sway their choice anyway.
Chocolate habits may be down to the UK public seizing the opportunity to spend some alone time, with a massive 52% confessing to eating it by themselves. So much for loving someone enough to give away your last Rolo, as only 20% say they are happy to share their treat with their partner.
Over a third (36 per cent) of the population reach for a solid bar above all others – almost double that of the nutty variety which sits in second place (19 per cent).
Interestingly a chewy chocolate is way down the list with only 2 per cent of the nation voting it as their favourite type to accompany their egg this Easter.
But is the survey right?
