Speaking of Chocolate

Here is the more formal definition of chocolate…

Chocolate is a product created from the seeds of cacao (trees). The chocolate product can be sweetened and flavored. It can be used as a flavoring and ingredient in other foods and beverages. The final creation can be confectionary such as a solid piece of chocolate candy. Or the chocolate can be the confectionary covering of your candy or cookie. Chocolate also can be part of a beverage such as chocolate milk. Or perhaps you’ve seen chocolate in the appearance of chocolate syrup that you’ve used to top off your ice cream.

BOTTOM LINE: Chocolate does grow on trees! (Well…sort of).

That’s the formal definition of chocolate. You probably have a much more informal way of defining chocolate. So what is it? What’s your definition of chocolate?
