The honour comes after Bullion won one of three 'best buys' in a Which? taste test involving 74 people in December.
The consumer organisation said its "rich chocolatey flavour hit the spot for our tasters".
It also rated it best-looking with 80 per cent finding the colour "just right".

A spokesperson for the firm said they could not be prouder.
They added: "We've been taste tested against the market leaders. To come out on top with a chocolate that's made simply from beautiful beans and cane sugar is a testament to the quality of the goods our team and the growers are producing. Craft chocolate is here, and it's here to stay!"
As well as its chocolate factory in Neepsend, Bullion has a shop and cafe bar in the Cutlery Works food hall on nearby Neepsend Lane.
