Chocolate sure can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Dark chocolate. Milk chocolate. White chocolate. Fruit based chocolate. Nuts based chocolate. There are so many combinations and permutations of treating chocolate to brighten up anyone’s day. If you have a sweet tooth and eat, breathe, sleep chocolate, then here are five chocolate brands you must follow on Instagram right away!

Lindt Chocolate

One of the finest chocolate brands out there, Lindt’s Instagram feed showcases their own yummylicious chocolate offerings, along with desserts and beverages such as hot chocolate, cupcakes, brownies, cookies and more concocted using their chocolate options.

Toblerone

Not all triangles have to be messy – some triangles are a bundle of joy, as is the case with Toblerone bars. The perfect mix of honey, chocolate and almond nougats, the Swiss sure got it right with Toblerone! And, they have also figured out the perfect recipe for Instagram, ranging from featured chocolate products and pancake recipes to cute-as-a-button chocolate look books.

From Kisses and M&Ms to Reese’s and more, The Hershey Company’s Instagram page showcases a bit of good ol’ Hershey history and staff alongside their products, in-store displays and more.

Hi! I’m Holly and I work in Operations Business Mgmt. We are a small (but mighty!) team that works with the Supply Chain and Commercial teams on new products and plans. What I love about my job: working with lots of cross functional groups, learning about new products before they hit the market, and getting to drive the electric cars! Oh – did I mention the candy? #InstaTakeover #ImHershey #HersheyLife

Remember all those annoying handwriting classes in elementary school? Manuscript. Cursive. Calligraphy. These were the classes that made us think we might have a shot at being a doctor, gauging how messy our handwriting was! So, naturally, when we see something pretty, it is difficult to not be in a state of awe. We came across six amazing hand-lettering artists on Instagram – their work is so good, that, too, in a digital day and age where people hardly handwrite anything!

Mary Kate McDevitt

Philadelphia-based artist Mary Kate McDevitt is a powerhouse of talent to watch out for – her choice of color palettes and simple, yet visually appealing typography is endearing. We also love her penciled out lettering uploads.

To start whatever it is you’ve been wanting to start.

Abbey Sy

An artist and author, Abbey Sy’s Instagram uploads reflect a deep sense of distinct style and careful attention to fine details. We love her collage uploads and scenic pics – good overall variety!

Cyril Vouilloz

Berlin based Cyril Vouilloz, aka RYLSEE, is a visual artist who also hosts many workshops on lettering. His lettering and design take up a life of their own, with a 3D touch to it. We especially love the lettering uploads, in which he uses objects, such as real pencils – sheer brilliance and innovation!

Leslie

California-based DIY and lettering artist Leslie makes bespoke pieces, and her work sure stands out. Her Instagram uploads offer a look into her colorful and pretty world – she seems to have a thing for floral motifs, which is easy on the eyes and classy.

Okay, I think @Instagram hates me because no matter how many times I update my software, I don’t have the feature to post multiple things in one post. So I decided to post a still shot instead of the video. Is this happening to anyone else?? . . Been kind of in love with the lettering on vellum thing because the pens write sooooooo smoothly! I’m using the same supplies as the last video that looks like this! The bouquet in the background was created as I watched the @yaochengdesign’s @creativebug watercolor tutorial ?. #springletteringchallenge A post shared by Leslie (@leslie.writes.it.all) on Mar 13, 2017 at 8:22am PDT

Dana Tanamachi

Dana Tanamachi is a busy designer and hand lettering artist. Her choice of rich colors and unique style will grab your attention and maintain it forever. We like the personal touch to her Instagram account, where she showcases her life behind-the-scenes and also her adorable dog!
