Top 100 Chocolate in the World (Ranked by Award Score)

The Top 100 Chocolate Bars is our master ranking of the world’s most exceptional chocolate bars across all styles and categories, continuously curated and updated from 2022 onward.

This page always contains exactly 100 bars. It is designed to be a clear, stable reference that brings together dark, milk, white, no-sugar, filled, and drinking chocolates into one unified ranking.

How the Top 100 Is Ranked

The Top 100 Chocolate Bars are ranked from #1 to #100 based on the highest scores achieved at the International Chocolate Awards from 2022 to the present.

When a chocolate bar has received multiple awards across different years or competitions, the highest official score is used for ranking purposes. In cases where scores are equal, editorial judgment is applied based on:

  • Consistency across multiple tastings

  • Breadth of international recognition

  • Sensory balance and technical precision

This methodology ensures the ranking reflects measured excellence, not popularity or sales performance.

How This Page Relates to Our Other Rankings

This Top 100 ranking is the foundation for all other chocolate guides on Hello Chocolate.

  • Yearly selections (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026…) highlight the most defining bars from the Top 100 for a specific year.

  • Category guides (dark, milk, white, no-sugar, drinking chocolate, filled) feature focused subsets drawn from the same archive.

  • Regional guides explore geographic trends using selections from the Top 100.

Those pages are selective editorial guides and may include fewer than 100 bars depending on relevance.

This Top 100 ranking sits within our broader editorial framework for evaluating excellence in chocolate, introduced in The Best Chocolate in the World guide.
