The “World’s Finest Chocolate” candy bars are a staple among many ACHS club fundraisers, like the Orchestra Department or Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). The bars come in boxes of 60 and are sold for $1 or 50 cents for each chocolate bar. The most commonly sold flavors are W.F. Crisp, Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Wafer, and Almond. I ranked these five chocolate bars from my favorite to least favorite.

1. W.F Crisp – My favorite chocolate bar is the W.F Crisp chocolate bar. This bar is made of milk chocolate with crisped rice sprinkled throughout. I really like the crunchiness of the crisp rice that blends beautifully with the milk chocolate— my favorite kind of chocolate. Both of these things combine to make this my favorite “World’s Finest Chocolate” chocolate bar. 

2. Caramel – Caramel is my second favorite chocolate bar. This chocolate bar has a flavor of milk chocolate with creamy caramel. I am a big fan of caramel, and this bar has a generous amount of caramel, making it the perfect amount for a caramel-lover like me. Milk chocolate is also my favorite kind of chocolate. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it is not as crunchy as the W.F. Crisp bar. This makes caramel my second favorite “World’s Finest Chocolate” chocolate bar.

3. Wafer – Wafer is my third favorite chocolate bar. This bar is made of a crisp wafer cookie covered in milk chocolate. My biggest complaint with this bar is that it comes in completely one piece— while all of the others are perforated into four smaller bits. Milk chocolate is my favorite chocolate flavor, though, so that’s what elevates it a little bit. This makes wafer my third favorite “World’s Finest Chocolate” chocolate bar.

4. Dark Chocolate – The Dark Chocolate bar is my fourth favorite chocolate bar. This chocolate bar has a flavor of rich and smooth dark chocolate. I am not the biggest dark chocolate fan because I find the taste to be a little bitter, and I don’t like to have a bitter taste in my mouth. This makes dark chocolate my fourth favorite “World’s Finest Chocolate” chocolate bar.

5. Almond – The Almond variation is my least favorite WF chocolate bar. This is a milk chocolate bar containing roasted almonds. Unfortunately for the Almond bar, I have never been an almond fan. I simply have never liked the taste of almonds on anything, especially chocolate. While I love milk chocolate, it only does so much. This makes Almond my least favorite “World’s Finest Chocolate” chocolate bar.
