1.0. Introduction

Confectionary industry relates to delicacies or sweetmeats that have sugar as a principal ingredient, combined with coloring matter and flavoring and often with fruit or nuts (All about candy and chocolate, 1958). From all the delicacies that the confectionary industry produces, chocolate is the major product of the confectionary industry that generates the greatest sale. It covers 56% of total sale in 2012 (Euromonitor International, 2013).

Godiva Belgium Chocolate was originated by a master chocolatier Joseph Draps in 1926, which created a new line of Belgian chocolates with extraordinary richness, premium quality, and iconic style. He sought a name for his company that embodied timeless values balanced with modern boldness. Joseph Draps get His inspiration came from the well-known Saxon legend of Lady Godiva who rode unclothed through the streets of Coventry to entreat her husband, Leofric the Dane, to lower taxes. Her courage prevailed, and in Europe she was celebrated in countless works of art (Godiva Chocolatier, 2013)

In 1966, the Draps family came into contact with the American company Campbell Soup Company, which acquired one-third of a stake in Godiva that year. Thus, the American operation of the company was the first to introduce premium chocolate to the American palette. By 1968, Godiva Chocolatier, Inc., had begun domestic production, using the exclusive Belgian recipes. (Godiva Chocolatier,

Another manufacturer, Coenrad Van Houten, produced a way for making chocolate powder. He did it using hydraulic pressure to remove the natural fat from it. Then that produced a hard cake which was crushed into powder. This was then mixed with water to make a chocolate drink. Next came the Joseph Fry & Son, British chocolate manufacturers, which was founded by a Quaker. The Quaker was a doctor before finding that company. In 1847 they discovered a way of converting melted cocoa butter to “Dutched” cocoa butter (which was sweetened). This would create a paste that would be pressed into molds.

    Chocolate first spread beyond mesoamerica when Montezuma of Tenonchtitlan introduced Henan Cortez, a Spanish Conquistador, to it in the 16th century. Henan Cortez then brought it back to the Spanish court in 1528 along with the equipment used for brewing it. Chocolate didn't become popular until after the downfall of the Aztec Empire, where then Cortez intensified cultivation efforts in New Spain.The first recorded shipment of chocolate for commercial purposes was in 1585 from Veracruz to Sevilla. By the 17th century, chocolate (cocoa) began arriving in ports throughout Europe as King Loius XIII married Spanish Princess Anne in 1615.
