Chocolatiers use the finished
couverture chocolate to make
chocolate candy bars, truffles and
other desert items.
The first chocolate was drunk
instead of being eaten, and was
served only to the highest nobles
and clergy of the Mesoamerican
age. The Aztecs and Mayans
created both sweet and bitter
drinks by mixing the ground powder
with water.
Chocolate liquor (smooth liquid
chocolate) blended in different
quantities with cocoa butter makes
different types of chocolate. The
blends of ingredients showing the
highest quantity first are:
