They made various combinations of chocolates and afterwards they blend all flavours together and coat it with some milk chocolate and as a result they created history of Mars chocolate.

The Mars chocolate bar that is manufactured by Mars Inc was for the first time manufactured in Slough, Berkshire of United Kingdom in 1932. it was launched at the sweet version of  American chocolate milky way bar produced by the Mars Inc. in United States. The European version of milky way is different from American version because it was manufactured by some other company but the milky way of America was a product of Mars in corporation. It was totally a different chocolate bar which was sold in America with the same name. The main ingredients were caramel, milk chocolate, almonds and plain nougat.

The UK version of Mars chocolate contains about fifty eight gram bar having two fifty nine calories which is equivalent to thirteen percent of daily calorie intake in an adult person. If we go back in the history of Mars chocolate, in 1932, an American son of Frank.C.Mars, whose name was Forrest Mars rented one factory in slough with about staff of twelve people started to manufacture a chocolate in United Kingdom which they had never seen in the surroundings. In those days, most of the chocolates were solid black plain bars but Mars was a new which contains various ingredients. It was designed on the chocolate which his father was selling in America with the name of milky way.

But in United Kingdom, it was sold with the name of Mars. These both chocolates were same but they had different names. Further some changes in ingredients were made by following the recipe of other chocolates like double decker, milky way, and 5-star. Afterwards, the packing was redesigned to make it look different from other candy bars that were available in America.

In 1966, a famous quotation you might have heard about that a Mars a day will help you to play, rest and work was said by William Dagnall who used his work to break the competition tie between Mars and other chocolates in favour of Mars. But soon it was replace by pleasure that is immeasurable which sounds like more youth attractions.

After the hit of Mars, variations in sizes and flavours were introduced in the market to increase the profit on the basis of chocolate but the mini Mars really contributed in the Mars history to make it more demanding among other brands.

That’s the history of Mars chocolate

Then after sometimes, in 1875, a Swiss manufacturer known as Daniel Peters used the same method of Van Houten with some variations. He added some milk powder with the contents of chocolate and that gave the birth to the first ever milk chocolate. But still you are thinking how is the first chocolate made?

Chocolate is considered as the food of Gods. So we can say that it is in use since the world was created by God. But it does not mean that it is in real eaten by God. Actually the name of a tree from which chocolate is produced is Theobroma which means that a food of God and that is why it is stated most of the time that chocolate is food from heavens. Some people say it is food from heaven because it has many benefits about which we do not have a single clue and some people say it as heaven food due to its taste and relaxation and comfort it provides to mind and body.

If we talk about the written proofs about use of chocolate, then it is about two thousand years ago when people make drinks of chocolate seeds and eat the fruit of chocolate which is known as chocolate pods or coco pods.  The trees of chocolate are about four thousand years ago and imagine how good it is to imagine that you are eating a chocolate which is made by using seeds of the fruit of cacao tree which is almost four thousand years ago. The first tribe who used to make a drink from the seeds of the cacao tree was Olmecs in Southern Mexico about one thousand years ago.

But it is difficult to say that how it would taste like and why it used for drinking but the fact how is first chocolate made in the form of chocolate bar. It was about in 17^th century when it was given a shape of bar which is used as a proper edible. This also happened in southern Mexico and further it was enhances in 1840 which is the base year of the first chocolate bar. Two British International companies with the name of Cadbury and Fry and sons made effort together to launch extremely delicious chocolates in different forms and they are still available to taste and enjoy for every single chocolate lover.

That how is Chocolate ever made.

But if we talk about pure chocolate we can not say that it is harmful for health in fact before it was used in only candy bars, chocolate was main ingredient of many medicines.

Chemist used it as a caffeine compound which can help body to recover from several diseases and this is not the end, it contains many vitamins and nutrients that are very good for health so saying that chocolate bad for your health has no link with chocolate.

Yes but the chocolate mixed with other flavors can make you over weight and stressed. But if these chocolate bars are taken occasionally not everyday, they can not harm you and you cannot say that chocolate bad for your health. Anything you take in excess is bad for your health and usually the people who love chocolates consume it regularly and in large number.

They won’t mind eating five to six bars per day which contains so much sugar that can cause real damage to your health. But if you in take moderate amount of chocolates, you will not get any harm or side effect related to chocolates. So it depends upon our consumption that in which form we take the chocolate and how much chocolate bad for your health can be.

But particularly if we talk about the simple chocolate that is extracted from the coco beans is nothing to do with your bad health. In fact people of old civilization used them for making drugs and medicines and to cure many diseases. But after seventeenth century, the concept of chocolate was totally changed and it was converted to candy bars which people enjoy as a sweet treat.

People have no idea about how good chocolate can be without adding any sugar and caramel but it is very bitter in taste and that is the main reason, that people can not eat it in raw form.

There was a time on chocolate when it was completely out from the medicine and was only considered as the sweet treat but now again after research and experiments on chocolate and coco beans, scientist are coming back to get  advantage of the most blessed food of the heaven.

Coco butter is high in starches like other foods but it does not harm your cholesterol level in fact it is anti oxidant in nature which helps to clear the body by making blood pressure low and cleaning the arteries. But this property is removed during processing and milk is added into chocolate to provide it flavor which makes it unhealthy sweet food to eat. But we ca not say chocolate is bad for your health especially if it is taken in pure form.

After the tress start to ripe the fruits which are just like the rugby ball pods white in color holding about thirty to forty seeds in it.  These pods do not grow among leaves but are attached with branches and trunks of cacao tree.  In the season of blossom, they are separated from the tree and the seeds are separated from the white shall which can be further used for eating or mix with drinks because it has very nice flavor but the seeds are very bitter in taste and flavors and it is almost impossible to eat them in raw form.

So they are left for the process of fermentation for about two weeks. In this process the sugar turns it property into acidic and the color of the seeds turn into dark brown. For fermentation process, they are covered in banana leafs or hidden under earth for a time period. After its fermentation it is further dried and the beans are ready to sell in the market. It was the first phase of how is chocolate made.

In the next step of how is chocolate made is the process of roasting the beans to release the perfect flavor they owe in themselves. After this they are grated. The roasting depends on the size of the beans so it can vary that how much times the beans are roasted.

Now they are crushed in order to separate the nibs from the shells or kernels of the pods. Some manufactures use the nibs to provide color and flavor but most of the time, they are used to form a coco liquid that helps to produce the coco butter which is cooked and solidified for further processing. Now all the ingredients extracted from the chocolate beans are mixed together to form a chocolate bar that can be further melted and used in formation of chocolate bars and other chocolate based products.

The process of forming chocolate can vary from company to company and from country to country but most of the time, it is the process followed by many companies to get the contents of chocolates to supply in the markets for further processing. And after some additional ingredients, you can enjoy a chocolate bar in your favorite variety that you can enjoy everyday.

That how chocolate is made.

The chocolate grows on tree. It might be shocking for some people to know that chocolate grows on tree but yes it grows on tree. The growth of chocolate starts with a tropical tree known as Theobroma cacao or simply cacao. Theobroma is a Greek word which means a food of Gods but the native region of cacao is the South America. It is grown throughout the tropical area of the world but seventy percent of the cacao is grown in Africa who is the biggest importers of cacao in all over the world. The quality of cacaos is different in different areas but the chocolate made by using African coco are best in taste and flavor.

Cacao trees are able to produce about two thousand pods per year. These pods resemble with rugby ball and you can say that it is the fruit of cacao tree. These pods do not grow within the leaves but they grow directly on the branches and trunks of the tress. The pods that grow throughout the year have thick white covering containing inside about thirty to forty seeds. The pulp flavor is little sweetish and tart. It can be used for eating or to be used in some drinks but the seeds it contains are very bitter in flavor unlike the chocolate which is made by using these seeds.

The monkeys are very much interested in eating the fruit but they throw away the seeds which can be utilized after collecting and washing them to form in a powder that is further transferred into chocolate. Some seeds that are left behind cause new trees to grow in the location and therefore the trees start to increase their number of growth every year. But what how humans can use these seeds and the answer of where does chocolate comes from, lies inside the seeds.

First of all, the seeds are harvested because it is very difficult to climb up a tree. After that the pods are opened by hands and seeds are taken out. Further they were left for the fermentation process. The fermentation process makes the seeds more eatable and chocolaty in flavor. The sugar turns into acids and the color is changed to dark brown. Usually two or three days are enough for this process but some seeds can even take about weeks or two.

After fermentation process, these beans are dried and are ready to send in the market with the name of coco beans.
