The Best Chocolate Dessert Recipes
Chocolate is quite simply one of the best ingredients out there. Well, at least I think so. It’s rich, decadent, and can be used in so many different ways.
Not only can you use it in dessert, but you can also use it in main dishes as well as in beverages. It’s really quite a versatile ingredient.
When was Chocolate Discovered?
It appears that chocolate was first discovered over 4,000 years ago in present day Mexico, which was then referred to as Mesoamerica.
What is Chocolate Made of?
Chocolate is made from the “pods” also known as fruit that is found on the cacao trees. These trees are found in South and Central America. Inside these pods are cacao beans. Each pod holds around 40 beans. Then beans are then processed by drying them and then roasting them.
When was the First Chocolate Bar Made?
1847 in England by Joseph Fry. And then in 1868, Cadbury started producing chocolate candy in England and as they say, the rest is history.
Healthy Chocolate Desserts
Normally when you think of chocolate, the word “Healthy” doesn’t always come to mind, however, just because you are craving chocolate, doesn’t mean that you can’t eat healthy.
If you are wanting to start baking at home and using healthier ingredients, then consider switching up the chocolate you are using. You can still make your favorites, but just change up a few ingredients.
If you’ve never tried Lily’s Chocolates before, you definitely need to. They have a large variety of products, will definitely satisfy your chocolate cravings, and are sweetened with Stevia. So, if you are trying to avoid using sugar, this may be option for you to consider. Keep in mind though, if you are ordering from Amazon and it’s during the warm months, they may arrive melted. Many stores now carry these products.
