Not that they made a handful of candy bars, packed in beautiful packages available on view market. Their traditional approach to eating this wonder thing was by drying it first and then creating a brew of it, maybe not unlike the way we brew coffee today.

| - | It wasn't until the middle of the 1800's when chocolate could possibly be stated in the cast form and ergo was born the chocolate candy. It was discovered that if the "Dutched" chocolate was sweetened then added back into the coco butter it made a sweet and moldable handle. And so as a candy bar what we realize today came to be. It was followed by candies in both milk and Swiss chocolates. Valentines Day has been a favorite occasion and when Cadbury's arrived with a shaped box of chocolates it became an excellent success.

Enthusiasm soared therefore high that a Belgian confectioner opened Godiva Chocolate Company in the year 1926 and may possibly God bless them all, they're all still doing good. | ||
