The 3 Musketeers chocolate bar is perfect for those looking for a light snack, as it's made with fluffy mousse. While milk chocolate is the original flavour, you can now find dark chocolate and mint variations.

Tootsie Rolls
These chewy sweets are perfect for those who love chocolate, and they come in a variety of different flavours. While the original Tootsie Roll is chocolate flavoured, the company decided to update their range with some delicious fruity combinations.
