Love-Chocolate

Brief History
In the late 1800s, there was a man named Milton Hershey. In his high school years, Milton Hershey became an apprentice to a candy maker, which he enjoyed. In 1876, when Milton was only 18, he opened his own candy store in Philadelphia. After 6 years in business, he moved to Denver, Colorado to work for a caramel manufacturer. After a few years in that business, Milton moved back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania and started a successful caramel company. In 1893 Milton went to a chocolate covention and sold his caramel company. In 1894 he opened the Hershey’s chocolate company…

Taste, Value…
Today, Hershey’s chocolate is the most highly consumed chocolate in America and other large countries. Hershey’s chocolate has changed drastically since it first opened. Since America consumes so much of Hershey’s chocolate, the recipe has changed so much (to lesser quality products) it is cheaper to buy. The grade of chocolate has gone down. Cheaper price, Cheaper chocolate. Hershey’s chocolate is still decent chocolate today but is not as creamy as you can get.

Chocolate comes in wide selections of variety. It comes in darks, lights, and whites. Technically though, white chocolate really isn’t scientifically chocolate. When they take the cocoa beans they separate the fats, and the cocoa. White chocolate is basically cocoa butter and sugar. The most popular chocolate chosen by the public is milk chocolate. To be considered milk chocolate, the piece of chocolate must contain 50% or less of cocoa content. Consistently, to be considered dark chocolate, it must be 50% or more of cocoa. White chocolate is basically composed of cocoa butter (which is the fats from the cocoa bean) and sugar.

No matter how many varieties there may be I am sure there is some chocolate that will make your mouth rejoice!
