Largest consumers: 2001 had the best breakdown of country demand in CRB Commodity Book. Now this “consumption” is based on basically how much chocolate they make, not eat.
1. US
2. Netherlands
3. Ivory Coast
4. Germany
5. Brazil
6. France
7. UK
8. Malaysia
9. Italy
10. Belgium
11. Former Soviet Union
12. Rest of World
In terms of eating, chocolate consumption goes hand in hand with GDP. Naturally, there are some that are above the curve (e.g. Belgium) and some below the curve (e.g. Japan).
Petra food has a very good graph on chocolate consumption here:

Look on page 75. It’s a bit Asian-centric, but it has great information on the chocolate industry.
