Best Chocolates In The World

There's a huge variety of chocolate in the world, from the humble Hershey's bar to high end, exotic chocolaty delights made by experienced chocolatiers. To many people, the colorfully wrapped chocolate bars you see in most stores aren't worth bothering with - they have a low cocoa content, and sometimes they aren't even legally called chocolate. That's what's going on if you see a candy bar described as a "chocolate confection" or covered in a "chocolatey coating". There's chocolate in there, but not much. Who really wants chocolate that is not chocolate? Not me that is for sure.

For those who believe that life's too short to eat cheap chocolate, there's a wide variety of high end products available. Unlike ordinary candy, they don't use inexpensive ingredients made for maximum shelf life. They're going for taste and quality, and using the best ingredients they can find.

Best Chocolate Truffle

Take away a woman’s chocolate and some say you take away her soul. People throughout the ages have loved healthy bites of divine chocolate.

Queen Isabella first learned about chocolate when Columbus returned from America. He bestowed the magical brown beans known today as cocoa beans.

Often called the food of the Gods, natural chocolate was used by the Aztec Indians who made their own hot chocolate as a sort of royal drink. Emperor Montezuma served bitter chocolate in golden goblets, but Spaniards later decided to sweeten it with cane sugar.

Cacao Chocolate Bar

Sure. As far as for flavoring of things, chocolate has replaced carob over the years on the raw foods community. The whole idea is that raw, cacao is what raw chocolate is really called, and the whole idea is because it's raw, it's healthy. Just like I talked about earlier, there are two categories of food, raw and cooked. So chocolate, that has negative effects on people, that actually kills a lot of animals, all of a sudden because it's raw, now it's good for you. I wouldn't call it a half truth, it's maybe like a quarter truth or a fifth truth..

If you have a regular chocolate bar, it's got pasteurized milk, it's got hydrogenated oil, it's got white sugar, it's got artificial flavorings. None of it is organic. It's got pesticide residues. It's absolute crap. I would consider that poisonous for the body. In addition, it's got caffeine and theobromine from the chocolate. And the chocolate's probably been heated up to a temperature that's not raw for sure.

You then can move into, let's say, a whole food vegan chocolate bar where you have organic cocoa butter, organic cacao, sweetened with some sort of organic, more whole food natural sugar and no flavorings whatsoever. That is much healthier than a regular chocolate bar.
