Who are biggest chocolate consumers?
I remember 蝴蝶燈 & 走馬燈, my peartnal grandparents always hanged one in their old apartment, except it was made of wood not paper, more like 宮燈 than 走馬燈. My parents usually just brought us to 維園 or 跑馬地 somewhere during mid-autumn. We didn't know of other kids in the neighbourhood when we were wee small. All fond memories.
How do you make chocolate ice cream?
* 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine * 16 ounces (2 cups) heavy cream Place the chopped chocolate into the bowl of a food processor. Heat the heavy cream in a quart-sized, microwavable container and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes on high, or until it just begins to simmer; be careful not to allow cream to boil over. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let stand for 2 minutes. Process by pulsing several times until chocolate mixture is smooth. Use as is for glazing. If you wish to make a lighter frosting, allow it to come to room temperature, approximately 2 hours. Once at room temperature, place in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high for 2 to 3 minutes.

Yes. Milk chocolate has both chocolate liquor and extra cocoa butter (about half of chocolate liquor is cocoa butter) and dark chocolate has chocolate liquor.
Is drinking chocolate milk not good while pregnant?
I'm not a doctor, but I don't see why chocolate milk would be harmful. Yes, it has added sugars and some caffeine in it, but all the nutritional value of white milk is still there. Besides, I doubt the caffeine levels are high enough to really have any impact unless you're drinking it all the time. Having a balanced diet is key. A little extra sugar, caffeine, salt or fat here and there is fine. So down your chocolate milk with an apple and think nothing more of it. Heck, I wouldn't even feel guilty about McDonalds every once and a while if that's what you like. Pregnancy isn't a death sentence.

What ingredient makes a chocolate chip cookie gooey?
Taking the cookie out of the oven after the proper amount of time will add more to the "gooiness" factor than the ingredients. Most chocolate chip cookie are overcooked. Taking the cookies out of the oven when just the edges are brown and NOT the whole cookie will make a moister gooier cookie. Another tip would be to refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 2 hours before baking and this will help keep the cookies thick and gooey as well.
yes, chocolate comes from cocoa beans, the beans are cut by hand and left out to rot for a week. In this time, bugs get into the beans and make nests, lay eggs, etc. They do go through a filtering process but it doesn't always get completely cleaned!
disgusting really!
:)

Can spoiled chocolate kill you?
The two toxic substances in Chocolate are Caffeine and Theobromine.
(LD50 is a way of describing toxicity. It stands for Lethal Dose 50%, how much of something that is a deadly dose for half of the individuals tested)
LD50 - Theobromine ~ 1000 mg/kg
LD50 - Caffeine ~ 175 mg/kg
Theobromine 1.3% in chocolate
Caffeine 0.02% in chocolate
Therefore Theobromine is the most dangerous toxin in chocolate.
Given an average weight of a human of 80kg
LD50 theobromine = 80,000 mg
6.15 Kg of chocolate would kill half of people of average weight
Those massive bars of cadburys dairy milk are 200g - so approx 31 of those would have a 50% chance of killing you of theobromine poisoning if you are of average weight.
Hope i helped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer above might be confusing. In a short version:
Chocolate contains small amounts of toxins. As you know, a lot of small amounts make a lot. If you had a lot of those 5 lb Hershey Bars, you would die, because the amout of toxins would be enough to kill you. Since people are so much bigger than other animals, it takes a lot of chocolate to kill them. A dog is smaller than a person, so it takes less toxins to kill a dog. A parakeet is extremely small, so small that even an ounce of chocolate could kill it. An enire M&M or chocolate chip could kill a parakeet.
What do you call a person who makes confectionery from chocolate?
