actually, if you don't put sugar in it's it's just a cacao drink. chocolate really means "cacao and 45+% sugar" just go look at the ingredients on most chocolate bars. sugar and cacao are the primary ingredients.

i have a feeling that originally "chocolate" had something to do with the italian word "latte" meaning milk. they now say "milk chocolate" but if it doesn't have milk it's "dark chocolate" but it's all been debased horibly in the meantime. all the gums and emulsifiers and preservatives and bullshit they put in it.

you can just eat raw cacao in a bar. but good luck finding such a thing. sugar destroys half of the goodness of it.

My current favorite chocolate is Equal Exchange 92% Cacao. It only has 3 ingredients: Cacao, sugar, vanilla. It doesn't have any of the garbage.

yeah, that's not very much sugar. one thing about chocolate is that mostly they actually use cane sugar, not HFCS, unlike almost everything.
