Chocolate Candy Store:
Melt In Your Mouth Delicious
By Finding Healthy Snacks
A chocolate candy store, many seem to believe, must be an original gift to us from the "gods". From the first moment you enter, finding healthy snacks amongst the aroma of fresh roasting beans, sweet cream and sugar all combine to arouse and delight your senses. Taking a tour of a manufacturing facility where these sweet tender morsels are made generates wide bright eyes and people licking their lips as they escape into their own personal fantasy world within their mind. Although it is a reminder of fun for some, a chocolate candy store for any person allergic or sensitive to its ingredients can lead to a long list of uncomfortable symptoms plus the possibility of a fatal reaction known as anaphylactic shock. Several of the main ingredients, especially dairy and soy (lecithin) are a staple in the manufacturing of most forms of milk chocolate. Dark chocolate varieties though use a different combination of ingredients. Often, there is some varieties, with careful inspection of the ingredient label, which are safe for many people sensitive or with allergies. Every company can have a different formula on different varieties of their products so reading and deciphering that ingredient label is mandatory every time you wish a piece of chocolate. Just because a company is safe this time is not any guarantee that this holds true for any future purchase. How Do I Know If My Selection Will Be SafeSome of the common ingredients on a chocolate label will include the following. Each of these are shown with a description of what each of these means to an allergy. By using this information, you can easily decide if this product will be safe for your specific medical condition:- Sugar - any milk chocolate selections generally have higher concentrations of this ingredient
- Whole milk powder/Lactose/Milk fat - any person with a dairy allergy or who is lactose intolerant must beware of these
- Cocoa Butter - is a pure edible vegetable fat which is extracted from the cacao bean to ultimately make chocolate liquor
- Cocoa Mass or cocoa paste - this is obtained by grinding roasted and shelled beans to a paste consistency. When this paste gets melted it is called chocolate liquor
- Chocolate Liquor - is the pure unsweetened liquid which is released from the pressing of cocoa butter and cocoa solids
- Soy Lecithin - is an emulsifier which is used to aid the stabilization of ingredients so they do not separate in the finished product. Any one with a soy allergy is not able to use chocolates made with soy lecithin.
- Vanilla - its largest use is in the food industry for the manufacture of ice cream and chocolate products
All chocolates are a combination of the above ingredients. Read your labels and verify the products safety before you sample a bite each time you visit the chocolate candy store.
