Chocolate bars are among the UK’s favourite snacks which can be enjoyed anywhere and at any time. They’re available in all coronershops and most supermarkets as individual bars and in multi packs.
If you’re counting your syns and on a budget but really fancy a chocolate bar you might be wanting to make sure you get the one that you like and one that won’t make you go over your target.
Here at Simple Syns we have compiled a list of the most popular (and some less so) chocolate bars and gathered their syn values for you to get what you’re looking for quickly and easily. We’ve also created an individual article for every chocolate bar should you want to know a little bit more about each one.
Here is the complete table of every chocolate bar and their syn value. We’ve also added some extra information on this because no two bars are the same even if they appear so. The table is automatically ranked by the chocolate bars SynScore.
Here’s how the table works.

| Lindor | 11.6 | 37 | 231 | 0.31 | 0% |
The chocolates with the lowest syn values are an individual Ferrero Rocher (3.6), a Curly Curly (4.9), and a Kinder Bueno (6.1), due in most part to their low weight. The chocs with the lowest syn per gram and perhaps the best choice for efficient spending of syns are Tunnock’s Caramel Bars (0.22), Mars (0.22) and a Curly Curly(0.23). This is possible because of a lower amount of chocolate in favour of biscuit/caramel.
The worst offenders for highest syns per individual bars are Toblerone (26.4), Bounty (13.9) and Double Decker (12.5). The chocs with the highest syns per gram are Lindor (3 balls) (0.31), Ferrero Rocher (0.29) and a Kinder Bueno (0.28).
As you can see, Kinder Bueno appears in both lists – it is low in syns for each bar but its syns per gram is the worst – this means that it is packed tight with calories but it doesn’t weigh as heavy as other bars.
