Hershey Chocolate Candy

In 1894 Mr. Milton Hershey produced chocolate candy bars at the Hershey chocolate factory. These chocolate candy bars were mass produced and available for public purchase. Mr. Hershey the proceeded to build a town to house his employees, and then a few years later he built an amusement park called Hershey Park, also for the employees. After he built the amusement park he built a zoo and named it ZOOAMERICA. He also built a hotel, stadium, theatre, and a home for orphaned boys. Hershey's Chocolate World is a large factory that is open to the public so they can view chocolate making, eat chocolate and watch 3D shows. Bite sized snacks are available in Hershey World, as well as an education in making chocolate.

Hershey's chocolate factories manufacture multiple types of chocolates, such as Sweet Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, Semisweet Chocolate, and Cocoa. These different chocolates are produced in the Hershey factory with precision and a methodical approach to creating chocolate. There are different types of recipes and combinations of ingredients that go into the individual type of chocolate's manufacture.

Sweet Chocolate contains a non alcoholic chocolate liqueur, cocoa butter and sugar. This differs from white chocolate, which contains cocoa butter, chocolate liqueur, sugar and milk. The difference in recipes is that white chocolate lacks the ingredient called cocoa solids. Cocoa for drinking is made in part by removing some of that fat from cocoa beans and the shell and grinding up remaining bean. Semisweet chocolate contains a fair amount of chocolate liqueur (up to 35%), cocoa butter and sugar, and the very popular milk chocolate is composed of parts sugar, milk, chocolate liqueur and cocoa butter.

The Hershey chocolate candy factories also make black licorice, breath mints, gum, cookies, snack bars made of rice and marshmallow, cooking ingredients such as flakes of coconut, peanut butter bits.
