Chocolate: The Sweet History includes a lot of interesting tidbits and facts about chocolate, about chocolate making techniques, and about the innovative people who are responsible for the variety of products that we have today. I was surprised at how little I actually knew about chocolate before opening this book. Now, I find myself bringing up interesting chocolate facts in conversations. I'm sure most readers will find themselves doing the same thing. Many readers will also likely find themselves reminiscing as they look through the pages of this book at the various advertisements and product labels illustrating company and product changes over the years.

   Having grown up working in the ice cream manufacturing business, I recognized many of the traditional Chocolate brands.
