A Brief History:
Origination: National Milk Chocolate Day celebrates the origin of chocolate. People celebrate every day with milk chocolate, and special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays and a great day, to go alongside. The history of milk chocolate is similar than all chocolate. The chocolate started out with its creation from the cocoa bean can be traced from the Xocolatl-loving Olmec, Maya and Aztecs of Mexico dating back to the era of between 1900 BC to 1500 BC. The Maya considered chocolate to be food of the gods, with the cacao tree being held to be sacred. They also buried dignitaries with bowls of chocolate.

Transient Evolution Into Milk Chocolate: Since the Mayan period, the list of ingredients with the relation to most chocolate products has expanded vastly past simple cacao. Milk chocolate evolved with Daniel Peter, a Swiss chocolatier from Vevey, Vaud Canton, invented milk chocolate in 1875 by adding powdered milk to dark chocolate to reduce its bitterness. This innovation was inspired by his desire to impress a young woman, and it marked a significant breakthrough in the world of chocolate. Companies still have yet reduced the cocoa content to decrease costs related to production and also to increase chocolate’s shelf life, making the once very valuable delicacy to have varying and limitless variety.

The Last Few Decades: The late 20th century and to today, companies and chocolatiers have been coming up with several different ingredient lists and recipes in order to continue to innovate the whole milk chocolate experience.

More Recently: Today, milk chocolate is still the very delicious dessert that it has always attained from back in the old days every year. Every year, countless companies come out with a new variation, and present companies introduce different renditions and even “limited edition” variations of the recipes used to produce milk chocolate products. More and more renditions and recipes have arisen in more recent years. The microwave had given more opportunities and different styles, especially after inventing the cup-shaped round and square microwavable light grey surfaces that refract the microwave to ensure more even cooking.
