The favourite chocolate bars for East and West Sussex have been revealed ahead of World Chocolate Day.

A study has shown that East Sussex people's favourite chocolate bar is the Caramac bar, followed by a Kit Kat.

It is predicted that the average Brit will eat 7,560 chocolate bars, 2,268 slices of chocolate cake and 8,316 chocolate biscuits in their lifetime.

As Caramacs are 65p each, the average adult in East Sussex will spend £4,914 on them in their lifetime, this would be the same as having one every other day for 40 years.

A single Caramac bar has 171 calories and weighs 20 grams. This means that people will consume over one million calories of Caramac in their lifetime.

East Sussex was not alone in choosing Caramacs as their favourite. Northumberland also favoured the smooth, sweet and creamy caramel flavoured bar. However, their second favourite was a Snickers bar.

The result differs from West Sussex, where people's favourite chocolate is a Cadbury Flake, and the second favourite is a bag of Milky Bar Buttons.

A 32 gram bar of Cadbury Flake on average costs 60p, people in West Sussex will spend an average of £4,536 throughout their lives.
