a press that separated brown cocoa powder and yellow cocoa butter from chocolate paste. Francis Fry found that cocoa butter hardened as it cooled. When the cocoa butter was still warm, he added sugar and stirred it. Then he poured the mixture into square tubs. Slowly, it became hard. The world%u2019s first chocolate bar was thus born.In no time, factories were making bars of rich, dark chocolate. Meanwhile in Switzerland, a man named Daniel Peter decided to enter the chocolate business. But there was a lot of competition in this business. So Peter wanted to make his chocolate bars special. He added milk but the chocolate became a liquid. His neighbour Henry Nestle, showed him how dried milk could be used to thicken the chocolate mix.In 1883, Daniel Peter won a gold medal for his new creamy chocolate mix. Soon milk chocolate became a big hit.By the 20th century, people had learnt the art of making chocolate bars creamier, smoother and tastier. In 1907, Milton Hershey an American chocolate maker tried making chocolate in other shapes and wrapped them in foil to make them look exciting. Soon factories were making chocolates in different shapes and sizes, wrapped in foils of all colours. In 1912, an American Candy maker Hawell Campbell made chocolate more interesting by adding nuts to it. It became an instant hit. From then on, there was no stopping the chocolate makers. Factories churned hundreds of different chocolates- creamy, nutty and cherry ones in different flavours.You now know the story behind the making of the chocolate and its journey from the American rain forest to factories everywhere.Remember chocolates are a good source of mineral and vitamin but they%u2019re high in calories. Chocolate like coffee, contains caffein which can keep you awake when your body needs rest. So don%u2019t eat too many chocolates.42 Arrow-Puffin-4_Semester-1 English
