Belgian chocolate has been the food of champions, a lure for lovers, the indulgence of the rich and later, the favorite of the masses.
Belgium produces 172,000 tons of chocolate per year with more than 2,000 chocolate shops throughout the country.

The chocolate is prepared from the seeds of the cocoa wich is a tree bearing large seeds pods. Most of these trees, initially discovered in America, are now growing in many equatorial countries. After the gathering, the cocoa beans are dried by the sun and sent to the chocoalte manufacturers. In the factories, the seeds are roasted and crushed to obtain the cocoa powder. They are also squeezed to make the cocoa butter.
Then the chocolate is produced by the mixing of the above powder and butter and the addition of sugar and milk powder.
The proporton of each component will deterimine the chocolate color.
- The black chocolate can contain up to 70% of cocoa.
- The milk chocolate containd more milk powder.

Thanks M. For encouraging me. I will try to see negative things in positive perspective. Will try to see a silver ray in cloudy sky. Love cha
It must be all that Belgium chocolate that makes you so sweet! -x-
Hope life’s treating you well, my plans have changed (again), hoping to sell Libby next month and use the money to go backpacking in Canada. Touring europe was fun but I was very lonely by myself and think staying in hostels and meeting people will be alot more fun. Maybe I’ll make it to Belgium one day and we can gorge on some chocolate together.
Hope to hear from you soon -x

Hello Sweeti! What an absolutely delicious, tongue-smacking, enticing, and appetising entry!! Oh, you shouldn’t remind me when I’m trying hard to stay away from my favourite sweet! I simply adore chocolate in any form, and am bonkers about dark chocolate. I do hope some kind doctors surface and recommend chocolate in their prescriptions!! I’m sure that such a heavenly food CANNOT do any harm. I have read about chocolate being a great mood elevator and anti-depressant, and that dark chocolate is good for the heart!! Come on, docs and scientists, out with some more good news about this irresistable item!Thanks for sharing, Sweeti!Love, Ruma.
yummyyyyyyyyyy!!!
