Hi there, I love chocolate, my favorite brand of chocolate is Hershey coming from my local city of Pennsylvania!
Chocolate is quite tasty sometimes, I like milk chocolate now and then.
Milk chocolate is definitely great by itself, it can also be in the form of liquid or paste as opposed to just a block. It is also flavoring in certain foods.
I can't imagine consuming liquid milk chocolate, seems overwhelming. Have you ever tried cocoa or cacao powder?
I have, yes! The process of that is interesting, it is when the cacao bean is dried and fully fermented and because of the seed's fat, cocoa butter can be extracted.
Sounds like a very involved process. I've heard some cacao powders have a lot of heavy metal contamination though.
I have not heard that, so I am unaware. All I know is that the beans are the basis of chocolate and they originate in Central America and parts of Mexico.
That makes sense, I think some cacao powder comes from soil near battery factors and stuff which is where the contamination comes from.
