tablettes de chocolat
French to English
Marketing
How do "tablettes" de chocolat (bars of chocolate) differ from "barres" (does this mean bars which are not just solid chocolate, but things like Mars bars, Twix, etc.?). Also what are "billes" in English when referring to M&Ms and Smarties?
Thanks.
Thanks.

bars of chocolate
bars of chocolate means a bar like Cadbury's which breaks up into chunks. Perhaps also 'slab' of chocolate. For your purpose barres would be Mars bars etc. as you say.
'Billes' would be drops so Smarties are candy covered chocolate drops et.

chocolate
Chocolate normally comes in bars. A bar can be either a large slab of chocolate that you break into smaller pieces (chunks) or a chocolate confection of some sort, like a Mars bar.
A big bar that you break up could also be called a 'slab', but that is pretty rare, normally its just a bar.
M&M's and Smarties would probably be called either just 'chocolates' or 'sweets'.

"tablettes" is chocolate split into little squares
Hiya,
"tablettes" is chocolate split into little squares like Dairy Nilk, Whole Nut, fruit and Nut etc.
"barre" can be anything like snickers, Mars etc but not chocolate.
Not sure about "billes." What's the context?

Chocolate
As the others have said, a "tablette de chocolat" is a flat bar of chocolate that's divided into squares. It can be pure chocolate (semi-sweet, dark, etc.) or have nuts and/or fruits in them.
A "barre de chocolat" is a chocolate bar (or candy bar), as in Mars, Snickers, Kit Kat et al. (these usually have nuts and/or nougat and/or caramel and are chocolate coated).
Smarties and M&Ms are called chocolate candies (billes de chocolat). From the M&M Web site:
"M&M's"® Milk Chocolate Candies were first manufactured in 1940 when Forrest E. Mars, Sr. formed a company in Newark, New Jersey. The original idea was to offer chocolates with a sugar shell that could be sold throughout the year and wouldn't melt during the summer.
The Smarties site address is www.smarties.com, but I couldn't access it now.
HTH,
Erika

Margaret Morrison
: I think if one was to refer to individual Smarties, M&Ms etc one would do just that-there's not really a term except sweet foe each individual little chocolatey thing except the brand name.I would grab a handful of Smarties (indeed)
