Every year we spend £3.8 billion on it and eat an average 9.5 lbs of it each - Ever Wondered takes a look at sweet-toothed Britain’s passion for Chocolate.

In the kitchen, Alan Coxon works with dark and white chocolate, to make an indulgent chocolate ripple cheesecake and Kathy Sykes demonstrates a foolproof way of getting chocolate to mix with other liquids, without going lumpy.
