Chocolate has evolved from a medicinal beverage to a solid treat. The first chocolate bar was created by Joseph Storr Fry and his company, J.S. Fry & Sons, in 1847. Fry discovered a moldable solid form of chocolate by mixing melted cocoa butter, sugar, chocolate liquor, and Dutch cocoa powder. Although the initial chocolate bar had a high caffeine content, it represented a pivotal moment in confectionery history, transitioning chocolate from a liquid form to a solid form, despite its lack of sweetness compared to contemporary chocolates.
