==Terminology== In many varieties of English, ''chocolate bar'' refers to any confectionery bar that contains chocolate. In some dialects of American English, only bars of solid chocolate are described as ''chocolate bars'', with the phrase ''candy bar'' used as a broader term encompassing bars of solid chocolate, bars combining chocolate with other ingredients, and bars containing no chocolate at all. In Canada, while the term ''chocolate bar'' is commonly used for bars combining chocolate with other ingredients, only bars of solid chocolate can be labelled as a chocolate bar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/requirements-and-guidance/labelling/industry/confectionery-chocolate-and-snack-food-products/eng/1392136343660/1392136466186?chap=3|title = Common name - Labelling requirements for confectionery, chocolate and snack food products|date = 11 February 2014}}</ref> The term ''bar'' may refer to a large variety of shapes, including not oblong ones, such as squares.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xVefKsK9MtYC | title=Lovemarks: the future beyond brands | publisher=[[PowerHouse Books]] | author=Roberts, Kevin | year=2005 | pages=196 | isbn=9781576875346 | quote=βBreakβ is a square chocolate bar with a loyal following in Greece.}}</ref> Small (bite-sized) chocolate pieces are however usually referred to as ''chocolates'', regardless of shape.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=94Ke9b2a-FAC | title=Chocolate: A Global History | publisher=[[Reaktion Books]] | author=Moss, Sarah | year=2009 | pages=68 | isbn=9781861897039 | quote=Like so many other developments in the creation of familiar forms of chocolate, the development of bite-sized filled chocolates arranged in a box... }}</ref> These include [[Neapolitans (chocolate)|neapolitans]], [[bonbon]]s, [[Chocolate praline|pralines]] and [[Chocolate truffle|truffles]].
