DARK CHOCOLATE!
Yes! I Love Chocolate!
Dark chocolate is a type of chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids and cocoa butter than milk chocolate, making it richer and more intense. It is made by adding extra cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, and sugar to milk chocolate. The resulting chocolate is then molded and often enrobed in a dark chocolate coating. Dark chocolate is thought to have originated in Mexico or Central America, and it was first used as a drink. The Mayans and Aztecs believed that dark chocolate had mystical and religious properties, and it was often used in ceremonies and rituals. It wasn’t until the 16th century that dark chocolate began to be used in Europe, and it didn’t become widely available until the 19th century.
Where does dark chocolate come from?
Today, dark chocolate is made all over the world. The best dark chocolate is typically made with cocoa beans from South America or Africa, which have a higher percentage of cocoa solids. The cocoa beans are roasted and ground into a paste, which is then combined with cocoa butter, sugar, and other ingredients.
