Chocolate ingredients:

The basic ingredients of dark chocolate are cocoa, sugar, soy lecithin, and various flavors. These ingredients can be replaced with others for a much healthier version with fewer calories.

Chocolate is delicious whether it’s solid or liquid. In its melted state, chocolate can be a good topping for cakes.

The traditional method of melting chocolate is the following: you must use two vessels, one that is placed directly on the stove with water; the second vessel goes over it with the chocolate. Chocolate will be mixed easily with a spatula until it’s all melted. The fire of the stove must be on medium.
