Which measurement type is essential for a consumer planning to use a chocolate bar in a specific baking mold?

Answer

The actual chocolate dimensions, often found listed as the cavity size.

Determining the correct dimension required for practical applications, such as fitting chocolate pieces into a baking mold, depends entirely on measuring the physical chocolate itself, not its container. Manufacturers sometimes provide the shipping carton dimensions, which are irrelevant for baking purposes. Consumers who need precise fit must seek out the actual chocolate dimensions, referred to as the cavity size, because the wrapper or air gap can add half an inch or more to the length compared to the edible chocolate.
