The findings are part of a study by weight loss programme Second Nature, which looked at all chocolate available at UK supermarkets.
Cadbury Mini Snow Balls have a whopping 68g per 100, meaning the moreish treat is the most unhealthy. Other popular chocolates listed include Aero, After Eight and Galaxy. Festive mainstays After Eights and Terry's Chocolate Orange sit in third and tenth place respectively.
Mike Gibbs, co-founder of Second Nature, said, "As Christmas Day draws near, tucking into festive chocolates is a tradition most of us wouldn’t dream of skipping. "It’s all part of the fun, but it’s worth knowing just how much sugar is crammed into these little treats.
“Some of the most popular chocolates on supermarket shelves are packed with surprisingly high amounts of sugar, and it can quickly add up if you’re not careful – but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy them. "However, keeping an eye on portion sizes and being mindful of how much you’re having can certainly make a big difference.”.
