CHOCOLATE !



Background Speel:
Chocolate begins with the seeds/beans of the Cacao tree (Yess, spelled C-a-c-a-o)
The seeds are very bitter.



Through fermentation, the beans get their flavour. The beans are dried, cleaned and roasted and the shell is removed as well ---> Which = Cacao Nibs.

Cacao nibs are ground (Noob terms: Smashed really hard until they turn pasty)which = cocoa mass(Yess, spelled C-o-c-o-a)or when its warmed up into a liquid, cocoa liquor.

The liquor is often processed into ---> cocoa solids (or powder) + cocoa butter



NOW.. Chocolate is created..
Dark Chocolate=Cocoa Liquor+Sugar+Cocoa Butter
Milk Chocolate=Cocoa Liquor+Sugar+Cocoa Butter+Milk or Milk Powder
White Chocolate=Sugar+Cocoa Butter+Milk or Milk Powder

AS you can see.. White Chocolate ..doesn't really count as a type of chocolate..:)
