    I’m happy with a Hershey’s Special Dark bar; I get that it’s not gourmet, and I’m not sure if Dr. Oz would consider it a healthful treat, but either that or semi-sweet chocolate chips will scratch the chocolate itch in my brain nicely.

    I have a Chocolove dark chocolate bar with cherries & almonds in my purse; well, half of one. I swore I was only going to eat a little bit each day, but it’s calling my name in the worst way – save me, TDK! 🙂

    These are soooo easy, but soooo yummy! The recipe is from Bon Apetit and is almost no fail!

    Chocolate Pots de Crème with White Chocolate Whipped Cream

    Ingredients

    2 cups whipping cream

    4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

    1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or coffee powder

    6 large egg yolks

    3 tablespoons sugar

    Preparation

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Arrange six 3/4-cup custard cups or souffle dishes in roasting pan. Combine whipping cream, chopped semisweet chocolate and instant espresso powder in heavy medium saucepan. Bring almost to simmer over medium heat, whisking until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture.

    Divide custard equally among cups. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake custards until just set around edges but still soft in center, about 25 minutes. Remove cups from water. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Spoon White Chocolate Whipped Cream atop custards and serve.

    White Chocolate Whipped Cream

    Ingredients

    2 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker’s), chopped

    2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream

    Preparation

    Combine chopped white chocolate and 2 tablespoons whipping cream in small metal bowl. Set over small saucepan of simmering water and stir until white chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove bowl from over water. Cool white chocolate mixture 10 minutes. Beat remaining 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisk in white chocolate mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    When you serve these, it looks really pretty to slice a strawberry and fan it out and place it on top of the whipped cream.

    In 1905 Cadbury launched the world-famous Dairy Milk bar – and it’s still going strong over 100 years later. But what else has happened?

    Swiss confectioner Jules Sechaud invented a machine for making filled chocolates in Montreux in 1913. Boxes of chocolates stopped being so expensive and this made it available to the general population.

    Cadbury bought Frys in 1919 and the company grew, producing chocolate on an industrial scale that could be enjoyed by everyone. Other big manufacturers appeared: Mars and Hershey in America, Nestle and Lindt in Switzerland, Rowntree in the UK. Cadbury and other manufacturers started making ‘Countlines’ – bars with other ingredients like nougat, wafer and honeycomb, covered in chocolate – think of Crunchie and Double Decker.

    During the Second World War, different manufacturers worked together, so for instance if a huge Government order came in that couldn’t be filled, Nestle would make a Cadbury’s bar or vice versa. Cadbury Dairy Milk disappeared during the war years, because there was no fresh milk available – instead there was Ration Chocolate made with powdered milk. It was 15 years before rationing ended and manufacturers could return back to normal.

    Throughout the 20th century there was fierce competition – chocolate had become a huge business, and details of new bars were kept top secret to stop rivals copying them!

    These days there are thousands of types of chocolate to choose from – you can drink it, eat it, spread it on a sandwich, pour it on your ice cream or make cocktails with it. There’s also a growing interest in organic cocoa and wellbeing. The World Cocoa Foundation was founded in 2000 by a group of manufacturers including Cadbury, in order to safeguard the interests of cocoa farmers around the world.
