All About Chocolate

I really like chocolate. Chocolate is a type of candy that is made from cocoa beans, powdered milk, sugar, and cocoa butter. There are many types of chocolate, such as caramel chocolate, milk chocolate, peanut chocolate, dark chocolate, bitter chocolate, which is unsweetened, and  hot chocolate drinks. Chocolate comes in all shapes and sizes, from big blocks to chocolate chips used in cookies. I like most of them.

First, where did chocolate come from? It came from long ago where cocoa trees grew. Farmers mimiced the ways monkeys ate the cocoa pulps. Later, when Europeans came, they brought it back. It was served as a drink and only the rich could afford it. Then even later, a man named Milton Hershey sold lots of chocolate and was one of the most famous. His plant made and sold a lot of products. He sold Hershey’s bars and kisses.

Chocolate has many ingredients. Of course, there is chocolate liquor and sugar. There is sometimes milk and cocoa butter. The remains squeezed out of chocolate is bitter chocolate. To shape chocolate, you must melt it then shape it using molds the way you want it, such as circle or rectangle. But it is referred as sweet flavor.

I like chocolate because it is sweet and energizes me. The taste also is  great, making it a candy I really enjoy, as I like chocolate ice cream and cakes.

As you can see, I love chocolate, but not all the time. chocolate is sweet, but it is one candy I really like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Thanksgiving Break

I do not know what to call my four day thanksgiving break. There were lots of things going on. First, on Thanksgiving, our house was hosting a Thanksgiving party. We had a lot of guests coming, so my dad made us help set up the event when we were having an electronics break. This four day weekend was at least some good news. The party guests started to arrive at 3:00 or later. All the guests brought dishes of their own, but my mom made the turkey. I enjoyed it because there was a bunch of things to do, but not for me. It was boisterous. When we had dinner at about 6:00 pm, the food was so good, I want to eat that much again. It was really fun at the end during the night because I had 3 scoops of ice cream for desert. My mom said: “You’re having your third?” I replied, “Yeah.” I went to bed pretty late.

On Black Friday, my brothers left without me to Kalahari resort in Pennsylvania for one night with some friends. Before that, someone asked me:”Will you miss them at all?” I said:”I’m not sure.” My brothers left at about 10:30 am. It was quite enjoyable experience without them that day. In the afternoon, I went to the Westchester mall in White Plains. My parents looked around many different shops. I went to the Apple Store and played this game called Mekorama. I only stayed there for 10 minutes, though. Have you been to the mall before? I have many times. I also had a movie night party at 8:00. The excitement was not over yet. On Saturday night, I went to a party a friend’s house. It was an exhausting holiday.

I had a big experience with many things. I lived 2 days without my brothers, and had a series of parties. It was the best holiday so far.
