It is going to be a tough task to find someone who doesn’t love chocolates..!! It’s been a part of our diet and celebrations since ages. The health benefits of chocolates are endless. It is a fact that they contain high quality fat. However, it has the least impact on the clogging of arteries or the cholesterol levels in our body. It is a lesser known fact that the cacao used in chocolates contains anti bacterial agents, which protect the teeth from being decayed. Consuming chocolates can make you look younger and fetch you a healthier skin. How well do you know about the various types of chocolates..? Read on to find it out.

• Milk chocolates: The ingredients of this chocolate consist of cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, milk solids and vanilla. The concentration of chocolate liquor is around 10%.  When you are dealing with decorative aspects, you can’t miss out this one.
• Sweet chocolates: It is interesting to see that these chocolates have absolutely no milk in it. The absence of milk brings out a darker colour to the chocolate. Cocoa butter and sugar are the major ingredients. Many times, it is mistaken for a bitter sweet chocolate.
• White chocolates: The missing ingredient here is the chocolate liquor. It is characterized by ivory colour. However, when the cocoa butter is replaced by the vegetable fats, white colour can be imparted. The striking advantage of this chocolate is that they can be stored for about 6 to 10 months when placed in a cool dry place.
• Dark chocolates: We don’t find any traces of milk solids in these chocolates. Appreciable amounts of cocoa butter and chocolate liquor are used in their manufacturing. Talking about their taste, they are semi sweet and bitter sweet in nature. It is highly recommended and famous for its health benefits. The blood pressure can be controlled effectively by consuming them.
• Unsweetened chocolates: As the name suggests, they taste bitter. If you feel like eating it alone, it’s going to be a very bad idea as it yields a strong bitter taste. Pure chocolate liquor is used to make this one.
• Cocoa powder: Defatted chocolate liquor has no traces of cocoa fats in it. The resultant product is used in the manufacture of this chocolate. Natural cocoa and Dutch cocoa are the major types of this chocolate. When you choose to prefer the natural cocoa, make sure to use it with an alkali, so as to weaken its astringency.
• Compound chocolates: A combination of cocoa and vegetable fats is used in the manufacture of this chocolate. Strawberry and orange mints are the popular flavours available in this type of chocolate. They are used widely to coat the candies.
• Couverture chocolates: If you are a professional candy maker, this is something which you use mostly. The functional aspects of this chocolate are similar to that of the compound chocolates. It is confined only for the purpose of coating. We can find high quantities of cocoa butter and solids in it.

If you are planning to gift chocolates by post, that’s the best thing you are doing today. They are the excellent mood elevators. There are good chances that your loved ones can be impressed easily by a chocolate..!
