Can you eat chocolate and ice cream every day?
Yes, it is possible to eat ice cream everyday and not gain weight. It's usually because you have a fast metabolism. I know I do, and I eat ice cream all the time and not gain a single pound! Your metabolism is how quick you break up food. For example, if you just had a very big dinner and in two hours you're hungry again, that means your metabolism rate is high. But that isn't a bad thing. Or you can simply just not gain weight from ice cream! (:

What is chocolate really made from?
White chocolate is not really chocolate. It contains cocoa fat, and sugar, I think some type of shortening and artificial flavors. That's about it.

Nestle buys their cocoa beans at commodities exchanges. At the commodities exchanges, Ivorian cocoa is mixed with other cocoa. The cocoa beans they buy are originally from cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast. In the Ivory Coast they have many cocoa plantations where children work as slaves. This means that Nestle is okay with child labor. Children are trafficked to these plantations. Human trafficking of children is a form of human trafficking. It is defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receiving of children for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation of children can take many forms, including forcing a child into prostitution, other forms of sexual activity, or child pornography. Child exploitation can also include forced labor or services, slavery, or practices similar to slavery, servitude, the removal of organs, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, recruitment as child soldiers, for use in begging, as atheletes (child camel jockeys or football players) or for recruitment for cults.

What ratio of oil to use in a chocolate fountain?
Microwave 2 bags of chips (can be any form of chocolate chip, butterscotch, peanut butter, etc as long as it equals 24 oz.) + 3/4 cup oil (vegetable or canola) about 3 minutes until it's fully melted and reaches a smooth texture. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl at the base of the fountain to just before the rim. Never add hard chips to the fountain while the motors running.
If you're using pure Belgian Chocolate it's high in cocoa butter so you don't need to add oil.
When you first fill the unit with chocolate you're supposed to let it flow for 2 minutes, then switch it off..this gets rid of air gaps that might make the chocolate not flow well. If it still doesn't flow well you can add 1/8 cup of oil to thin out the chocolate.
Tetteh Quarshie was born in 1842 . He served as an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop at Akropong belonging to the Basel Missionaries. His hobby was farming.
In 1870, Tetteh Quarshie went to work on the island of Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea where, under the Spanish, cocoa, imported from South America, was grown and guarded like gold. Workers were searched before they left the island to ensure that the precious cocoa beans didn't leave with them. Tetteh Quarshie realised how this crop could help him and his family and planned a way to carry the beans to the Gold Coast (Ghana). About 1879 he returned to Ghana with several cocoa beans (the Amelonado beans), which he had swallowed. He went through the routine searches and managed to leave the island safely. Once off the island he waited for nature to take it's course and recovered the beans. He planted the seeds in Mampong, near Akropong in the Akwapim area of Ghana where he felt that the climate was suitable. The seeds took root successfully. Tetteh Quashie made history.
He distributed pods to friends and relatives who undertook to plant the cocoa. They, in turn, handed seeds other farmers. Soon the planting spread to what is now the Ashanti Region and the area became the biggest cocoa producing area in the world. It was at this point that the Basel Missionaries took an interest and exported cocoa to Switzerland. The result was that the Swiss chocolate industry was born.
What is the difference between dark chocolate and milk chocolate candy?
Clearly, a dark chocolate candy is made with dark chocolate while a milk chocolate candy is made milk chocolate. Dark chocolate candy provides a more filling to the consumer and also provides key nutrients, while reducing the craving for chocolate all-together. Milk chocolate adds a more creamier texture to the candy and is not as strong on flavor as dark chocolate.
