Candy Bars

I was just trying to imagine the most popular candy bars we eat without chocolate. Like what if peanut butter cups werent covered in chocolate? Would they still be good? My favorite candy..Rollos...are caramel bites covered in chocolate. I know for a fact if chocolate wasnt involved I wouldnt like them as much. If you think about the most popular bars eaten...the majority of them are chocolate covered. Do you think you'd still like them if say they were even covered in white chocolate and not milk chocolate? Or what if they were covered with like syrup or something over chocolate? Might be a bad example but you get the point

Hershey Park...

Has anyone ever gone to Hershey Park? I've gone plenty of times considering I'm from PA and all. The chocolate there is amazing! It's sooo fresh and very cheap! The reason I thought of this is because my friends and I go to the park every winter before Christmas to see their light decorations. They cover the entire park with X-mas lights...and it's so pretty! If you havent gone in the winter you should...it's always nice to grab a cup of hot chocolate afterwards too!

Chocolate as an extra...

So I was just sitting on my couch watching tv and shoving a Krispy Kreme doughnut in my face. I'm in love with doughnuts especially the glazed one with chocolate icing. That's when I thought of this blog. Do a lot of you enjoy things that are topped with chocolate? For instance, ice cream, cheese cake, and doughnuts?Chocolate ice cream is amazing...espeically with chocolate syrup on top. Cheese cake is good with chocolate drizzled on it. And doughnuts..well I just told you how good they are with chocolate on top. Another thing that's good is chocolate milk and hot chocolate. Living in PA,and having COLD winters, we are constantly drinking hot chocolate in my house.  My mom makes these treats for X-mas and she gets pretty spoons and dips them in chocolate and lets it harden..then people put the spoons in their coffee/hot chocolate and the chocolate melts. It's a great extra for any hot drink. So again, anyone like chocolate as an extra?

In the U.K. in every year is being held a Chocolate Festival and it is called Chocolate Week.This festival usually runs from 15th October until 21st October.During this period the whole London is caught up by this fest.Chocolate Week primarily takes place in the chocolate shops involved – at their talks, tastings and events.During Chocolate Week people hold chocolate tastings ,demonstrations ,launches of new chocolate,they create chocolate fountains,sculptures and simply have lots of fun.
If I could I would like to go a festival like this,I will be really happy when I'll see myself surrounded by all that chocolate:)

I was watching "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" the other day.  Have any of you ever seen it? Its a movie about a man named Willie Wonka and he owns this huge chocolate factory where he makes all kinds of candies.  I was watching it and it reminded me of this chocolate blog, so I decided to write about it.  That movie is really neat.  It shows a whole lot of creativity when it comes to making candy.  One part in the movie that was really interesting was when the actors entered a room that had a chocolate waterfall and everything else in the room was edible.   I would love to take a trip to that Chocolate Factory if it were real.  But they do have real Wonka Chocolate Bars sold at local stores.  I haven't tried any of them yet, but I think I'll go buy some and see what the're like.

History of chocolate

It seems I'm really into blogging today:)
Did you know that chocolate has first appeared around 3100 years ago in Central America but back then it wasn't considered as the sweet treat people now enjoy but as a celebratory beer-like beverage.  Cacao seeds were used to make ceremonial beverages consumed by elites of the Aztecs and other civilizations. Latter on the Spanish conquistadors who conquered the Aztec empire in the 16th century have brought this delicious treat to Europe,where chocolate has amazed everybody who got to taste it.
Even back in those times chocolate was considered one of the best treats a person could enjoy,so it seems that chocolate has it's own amazing stories to tell...

Moldavian chocolates

Another kind of chocolates that I like,are those from my country.Back in Moldova we have a big chocolate factory ,Bucuria(in translation it means Joy), that has been making chocolate for more than 100 years,so it has it's own tradition and it's own specific tastes.They make all kinds and sorts of chocolate,from bitter black to sweet white.Bucuria always mixes chocolate and creates the most amazing flavours.Maybe I will have the chance to bring a box of chocolates in class:)So if you ever get to visit Moldova,that is an interesting place to see.

Whispa

Hey,have you ever heard of Whispa? It is also made by Cadbury and it is one of the best chocolates I have ever eaten.Whispa comes in all shapes and colors, they make black,brown chocolate,black with white,but my favorite is the white one.Whispa has something that makes it unique,the whole chocolate bar is made of bubbles(small bubbles of chocolate) and it gives you a specific fine taste.When you put it your mouth it basically melts and gives you a fuzzy feeling.
I don't know if they sell this chocolate in the U.S but if you know where I can find it,please let me know,because I'm crazy about it:)
