Yes in the UK 'candy' means what you would call 'hard candy' (although most people would probably use the term 'boiled sweet' instead), and what you would call 'candy' we call 'sweets'. A 'chocolate bar' is any sweet enrobed in chocolate.

Be careful with your definition...
A chocolate bar is generally something that is vaguely rectangular (longer than it is wide), has chocolate as it's outer layer, and would take multiple (often many) bites to eat.
If I take a sherbet pip and dip it in chocolate, it is not a chocolate bar good sir! :-)
