| Note from asker to answererDanke Anne-Barbara, an die Tafel hatte ich gar nicht gedacht. "bar" kann zwar beides sein, aber so habe ich wenigstens zwei verschiedene Begriffe da stehen.

| Schokoriegel
Explanation:
I think there is only one term for this in German.
To me (native US English), a chocolate bar is made up mostly of chocolate but may contain nuts or a bit of something else. A candy bar may be coated in chocolate but be made mostly of something else (nougat, coconut, peanut butter, etc.)
