The chocolate candy bar was first invented in 1847.
Our modern-day concept of the chocolate candy bar was invented in 1847 by Joseph Fry in Britain, along with his son. This original candy bar has grown into an endless array of chocolate candy and treats, with some sort of chocolatey morsel in existence for every kind of taste bud.
White chocolate is not really made from chocolate.
Well, it is not made like the chocolate that we identify as chocolate. It contains cocoa butter, milk, vanilla, and sugar. It is able to remain white by leaving out the key ingredient that gives traditional chocolate its rich, brown color: cocoa liquor. This is why white chocolate has a creamier, lighter flavor than regular chocolate.
Chocolate actually makes you happier.
The act of eating chocolate and the taste of this delicious treat are likely a source of happiness on their own. But chocolate contains compounds that make your brain happy. The amino acids in chocolate release endorphins and serotonin in your brain which create a feeling of happiness.
