WTF?? No Coffee Crisp or Caramilk? I definitely learned something new today. Considering Potawies list accounts for most of the popular chocolate bars here, what are the names of the popular American chocolate bars?
Here's a Top 10 List I found:
Hershey Bar
This is the Hershey Chocolate Company's initial chocolate bar and still remains popular today. In addition to six regular varieties (milk chocolate, special dark chocolate, milk chocolate with almonds, cookies and cream, Mr. Goodbar and Krackel), there are six limited edition candy bars. You can get many different themed items revolving around the chocolate bar.
Snickers
Consistently one of the more popular candy bar sellers. Snickers is made by Mars and contains nuts, chocolate and caramel. There are many different variations of the Snickers candy bar, including Snickers ice cream, Snickers Popables and peanut butter Snickers. Learn more about sponsorships by Snickers and how they're involved in NASCAR. If you or anyone in your family has nut allergies, you'll want to read their allergen alert page too.
Twix
This is a unique candy bar that has a cookie center that reminds one of a butter cookie or lady finger, caramel and milk chocolate coating. This candy bar is also created by Mars. There are several variations, such as peanut butter and miniature sizes. You'll also find a complete list of advertising campaigns and shows and movies where Twix candy bars have made an appearance.

Mars has another hit on its hands with this chocolate bar with the creamy middle. In 2007, Mars released a new special editing of the candy called Autumn Minis. The bag featured flavors such as French vanilla, Strawberry and Mocha.
Kit Kat
Kids love this crunchy, crispy, wafer type bar. That is likely the main reason for its overwhelming success. Did you know that Kit Kat was actually released back in 1935 under a different name? There are lots of different and unusual flavors released over all different parts of the world that have a regional flavor. Kit Kat is part of Hershey's.

Baby Ruth
Yummy, gooey and peanuty, Baby Ruth has long been a favorite of fans everywhere. Although the actual candy bar creation has been around for decades, it is now owned by Nestle. Baby Ruth candy bars have appeared in many movies like Caddy Shack, The Goonies, Friends (television) and Hairspray. Get the inside scoop on Nestle's Baby Ruth.
Oh Henry
First introduced in 1920, the Oh Henry candy bar as only gained popularity over the years, but is also a tried and true favorite for older generations, who recognize this candy from their childhood. The stories surrounding the history of this candy bar are rich and interesting. In the early 1920s, an employee who worked at Williamson Company declared he was going to make the candy bar the number one seller. The company denied him advertising, so he created bumper stickers and took his campaign directly to the people, making sells rise quickly.
Reese's
Made by the Hershey company, Reese's is a favorite everywhere. From the candy bars to the miniature cups. There are additional variations such as white chocolate, crispy crunch, caramel, clusters and big cups. You'll also find seasonal versions of the Reese's cup, such as Christmas trees and Easter eggs.

Butterfinger
Butterfinger was loved anyway, but Bart Simpson helped take it to a new level with the ad campaign, "Get Your Fingers off My Butterfinger". It's no wonder this is one of the top selling candy bars, with the different products in which you'll find this candy, including ice cream such as Dairy Queen Blizzards, You can gather all the nutritional and ingredient information you need to make sure this is a non-allergenic choice for your family.
