Chocolate!

Chocolate

You may wonder why I have decided to write about such a weird topic, but it is because I love it, and I’m eating some now (piggy).
It used to be that the chocolate you would eat was only dark chocolate, which I do not fancy much. Now days you can get a much wider range. There is milk chocolate, white chocolate, three wishes (Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate), Top deck (Milk chocolate, and White chocolate), there is mint chip, caramello, black forest, and fruit nut. There are also many more. My favourite type of chocolate is Lindor it’s so nice, but also expensive. I normally only eat Cadbury, they have a great range. I used to like black forest, but now I just like simple dairy milk chocolate
All the chocolate we eat comes from one rather special plant—the cacao (kah KOW) tree. These trees produce pods containing pulp-covered seeds. The seeds, once fermented and dried, are processed into chocolate.
A cacao pod contains about 30-50 almond-sized seeds—enough to make about seven milk chocolate candy bars!
Many candies and desserts contain chocolate. People often give chocolate as a gift on holidays such as Valentine's Day and Halloween
I think everyone should enjoy chocolate. A lot of effort is put into it.
