Chocolate The History, The Origin and The Flavour
Chocolate has been a favorite of man for thousands of years. Ancient people brewing the seeds of the cacao tree into a yummy beverage was the beginning of the wide assortment of chocolates that we enjoy today.
Once chocolate was discovered by European conquests, it became a treat only the wealthiest could afford. Not only was chocolate expensive, but it was bitter. Sugar and spices used to sweeten it were expensive too and out of the common man’s reach. It was in the 1800’s that the industrial age and mass production made chocolate candy affordable for everyone.

Q&A: Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes?
Question by WhiteWolf359: Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes?
I tried making “White Chocolate Brownies” from a recipe online, but they just don’t turn out right. All gooey and gross. Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes, aside from cookies? I have a bag of Ghiarardelli White Chocolate chips and I want to make something really special for Valentine’s Day for my fiance.

1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup uncooked regular oats
3/4 cup crisp rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (4-ounce) bars white chocolate, broken into chunks, or 1 1/2 cups white chocolate morsels
12 large marshmallows
Beat shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add sugars, beating well. Add egg, beating until blended.
Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a separate bowl; gradually add to sugar mixture, beating after each addition.
Stir cereal, vanilla, and white chocolate into mixture.

Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light
Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light
A delectable journey into the world of chocolate–from manufacturing to marketing, French boutiques to American multinationals–by the award-winning author of Olives.
Science, over recent years, has confirmed what chocolate lovers have always known: the stuff is actually good for you. It’s the Valentine’s Day drug of choice, has more antioxidants than red wine, and triggers the same brain responses as falling in love. Nothing, in the end, can stand up to chocolate as a basic fundament to human life.
In this scintillating narrative, acclaimed foodie Mort Rosenblum delves into the complex world of chocolate. From the mole poblano–chile-laced chicken with chocolate–of ancient Mexico to the contemporary French chocolatiers who produce the palets d’or–bite-sized, gold-flecked bricks of dark chocolate–to the vast empires of Hershey, Godiva, and Valrhona, Rosenblum follows the chocolate trail the world over. He visits cacao plantations, meets with growers, buyers, makers, and tasters, and investigates the dark side of the chocolate trade as well as the enduring appeal of its product.
Engaging, entertaining, and revealing, Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light is a fascinating foray into this “food of the gods.”

You may have to experiment to find the mix of cocoa to sugar that works for your uses.
