John Cadbury's First Chocolate Bar For Eating Chocolate
In 1847, Joseph Fry discovered a way to mix some melted cacao butter back into defatted, or "Dutched" cocoa powder along with sugar to create a paste that could be pressed into a mold. The resulting bar was such a hit that people soon began to think of eating chocolate as much as drinking it. Many people credit this as the very first chocolate bar for eating.John Cadbury added a similar product to his range in 1849, and by today's standards these original chocolate bars would not be considered very palatable. The early eating bars of chocolate were made of bittersweet chocolate.

    Next, a descendant of Mayans, the Kekchi Mayans presented crates of chocolate to Prince Philip. It was all frothed and ready to drunk by the Europeans. When Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus classified the “cocoa bean” he gave it the scientific name of Theobroma which meant “food of the gods’” in Greek. 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.

    I believe that mistakes are a key part of discovery. Without mistakes some of the things we know today may have never come to be. For example, in the passage, “How a Melted Bar of Chocolate Changed Our Kitchens,” it stated, “Standing by the Magnetron one day while it was on, Spencer noticed that the bar of chocolate in his pocket melted. He had a moment of realization. He asked for popcorn kernels, and put them near the heat. Minutes later, the man we can thank for microwave popcorn had a discovery on his hands.” This passage meant to say that because Spencer stood by the Magnetron the chocolate bar in his pocket melted. Now many may think of that as a mistake, but if that wouldn’t of happened than he most likely would not have discovered the microwave, an important kitchen appliance.…

    Rogers’ Chocolates is not using its core competency of strong retail sales ability and its distinctive competency of producing a wide variety of high-quality, hand-wrapped chocolates to attract a sufficient market niche of worldwide tourists and high-income, middle-aged couples that are mainly empty nested or child-free, so that they can maximize their market share and profit volumes in a rapidly growing market in which globalization, product innovation toward a more health-conscious product, and growing buyer preferences are major driving forces. Their tremendous ability in retail sales, in which their 11 stores accounted for 50% of total sales, and financial leverage have not been utilized to expand Rogers’ to profit and market potentials due to a major focus on wholesale accounts. It was stated that wholesale accounts rendered lower profit margins than retail sales, yet the company would ship inventory back to the factory from retail stores to fill back orders and completely goes against the company’s goal of doubling or tripling the company within 10 years.…

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.

    First introduction is when Spanish conquistadors met Azctec king. 1585 first recorded shipment from veracruz to Sevilla, Spain and spread to Europe from there. The first recorded shipment of chocolate to Europe for commercial purposes was in a shipment from Veracruz to Sevilla in 1585.[17] It was still served as a beverage, but the Europeans added cane sugar to counteract the natural bitterness and removed the chili pepper while retaining the vanilla, in addition they added cinnamon as well as other spices.[ In Spain, it quickly became a court favorite. In a century it had spread and become popular throughout the European continent.[26] To keep up with the high demand for this new drink, Spanish armies began enslaving Mesoamericans to produce cacao.[27] Even with cacao harvesting becoming a regular business, only royalty and the well-connected could afford to drink this expensive import.[28] Before long, the Spanish began growing cacao beans on plantations, and using an African workforce to help manage them.[29] The situation was different in England. Put simply, anyone with money could buy it.[30] The first chocolate house opened in London in 1657.[30] In 1689, noted physician and collector Hans Sloane developed a milk chocolate drink in Jamaica which was initially used by apothecaries, but later sold to the Cadbury brothers in 189715]…
