All About Chocolate

Tweet

I love love, love chocolate. Mostly milk type since dark seems a bit bitter to me. I still remember my mom bringing home a KitKat bar one time when I was just a child. Not like the ones you get nowadays. It originally was made from a recipe made in Britain and was 10xs as good as the one you can buy today. My favorite type of chocolate is the truffle. I went looking for info on chocolate and here is what I found: * The most expensive type of chocolate is actually a dark one called Amedei Percelana made by the Amedei chocolatier in Tuscany, Italy. It has won several awards and 1.8 ounces in the United States goes for between $19-$22 or about $90 a pound. * The first chocolate bar was made in 1847 by Joseph Fry. It was called Fry's Chocolate Cream and you can still buy it today. * The biggest chocolate bar was made in Britain and it weighed in at 12,000 pounds. Twice as heavy as a rhino it was 13 by 13 feet. * The oldest popular brands of chocolate and where they were made: The Cadbury company which was established in 1924 in Britain. Toblerone in 1908 and then Lindt in 1845 both are Swiss companies. Then Hershey's in Pennsylvania in 1894.
