It is that time year again when one of the worlds biggest chocolate awards are released in London. The full listing of all the 2022 Academy of chocolate awards has a cool search bar but they don’t give much of a summary. Chris (the Statistician) kicks into gear when he finds data so couldn’t help providing a little summary.
- 485 awards announced across 13 categories.
- 50 gold (10%) , 173 silver (36%) and 262 bronze (54%).
