Around the world, chocolate is one of the leading favourite foods. In fact, there are so many different types of chocolate that it wouldn’t be wrong to say that there is a type for everyone. There is your classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate, and then there are all these wonderful fusions of different flavours that excite the palate. Many chocolates also have different additions; some have a rich caramel filling while others are stuffed with almonds. Across the world, you will find modifications made to the same basic kind of chocolate. China and Japan are famous for the wonderful, and sometimes-eccentric, flavour combinations they have created, such as chocolate flavoured with green tea.
