Toblerone (/ˈtoʊbləroʊn/ ⓘ TOH-blə-rohn, German: [tobləˈʁoːnə], Swiss Standard German: [toblɛˈroːnɛ]) is a Swiss chocolate brand owned by Mondelez International (originally Kraft Foods). It was produced exclusively in Bern, Switzerland until 2022, when a smaller, limited part of the portfolio began production in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Toblerone is known for its distinctive shape as a series of joined triangular prisms inspired by the Matterhorn mountain and lettering engraved in the chocolate. "Toblerone" is a portmanteau of "Tobler", the surname of its co-founder Theodor Tobler, and "torrone", the Italian word for nougat. The company was independent from 1899 until 1970, then merged with Suchard, then with Jacobs as Jacobs Suchard, then acquired by Kraft Foods—which has been renamed to Mondelez International—in 2012.
