Soy Sauce Kit Kat anyone?

Bleughhh...after you...and you..and you........

Ginger Ale & Wasabi-shameful mind you I am not that enamoured with a pink KitKat, it reminds me too much of the Pink Panther chocolate bar of the 70's-that was incredibly sickly.
Chocolate has come a long way but I still reckon we make the BEST chocolate in the world-pah you French, Belgians and Yanks! Big Grin

Ahem to get back on track here are 10 chocolate facts-tasty! Big Grin

Chocolate comes from a fruit tree; it’s made from a seed.

It takes 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate.

Each cacao tree produces approximately 2,500 beans.

Cacao beans were so valuable to early Mesoamericans that they were used as currency.
“Cacao” is how you say “cocoa” in Spanish.

A farmer must wait four to five years for a cacao tree to produce its first beans.

Spanish royalty gave cakes of cacao in their dowries.

Theobroma Cacaois the tree that produces cocoa beans, and it means “food of the gods.” Carolus Linnaeus, the father of plant taxonomy, named it.

Chocolate has over 600 flavor compounds while red wine has just 200.

Chocolate milk is an effective post work-out recovery drink (Everyone get a glass of Nesquik!) Big Grin

MORE:
Holiday makers are constantly on the hunt for a reason to munch on chocolate, so the calendar offers plenty of excuses to buy a bar. 7th July is also Chocolate Day, a nod to the historical tradition that the day marks when chocolate was first brought to Europe on 7th July, 1550, though a number of sources argue that it might have hit the continent’s shores as far back as 1504, thanks to Christopher Columbus. Official day or not, we do know that chocolate first arrived in Europe some time in the 16th century. There's also National Milk Chocolate Day on 28th July, International Chocolate Day on 13th September, and, of course, National Bittersweet Chocolate With Almonds Day on 7th November.
Slightly bonkers! Big Grin

White chocolate is not real chocolate.

In order to be classified as real chocolate, a product has to contain cocoa solids or cocoa liquor. White “chocolate” contains cocoa butter.

You mean the Milky Bar is a fraud! After all these years of liking that white chocolate delight-tsk tsk, not so tough as we thought Big Grin
