It's perfect as a snack, for dessert, or as an easy mix-in for overnight oats. And, luckily, thanks to all the vegan-friendly chocolate brands popping up lately, finding a bar sans dairy (or other animal-based ingredients, like whey) is easier than ever. Your standard vegan chocolate bar is made from simple ingredients like cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla, says nutritionist Marisa Moore, RDN. While omitting animal-based ingredients isn't necessarily better for you, it makes conquering cravings possible for those with dairy allergies (or lactose intolerance) or who avoid animal products. Plus, many of these bars ~do~ get a slight nutritional boost from fun toppings and fillings like nuts, coconut, fruit, and spices like chili pepper or cinnamon. If you really want your bar to be a health superhero in addition to a delicious treat, look for the highest available cocoa percentage, Moore says. (You'll find it called out on the front of most bars. Yep, that's what that 72% number means. ) While anything greater than 70% cocoa is high enough in the good stuff to be considered dark chocolate, know that the higher that percentage is, the more bitter your chocolate bar will be, explains Moore. So, just how high you go really depends on your taste buds. "Though it depends a lot on how the cocoa is processed, generally speaking, the higher cacao percentage, the higher the flavonoid [antioxidant] content," she says. "And those flavonoids might benefit your heart.

Cocoa beans are thought to have first been used by the Maya civilization of Central America for the myriad of health benefits that come with it. Cocoa powder is a dried, ripen, and fully fermented seed from the Theobroma tree’s cacao seeds, a small evergreen tree from the Malvaceae family. It’s a popular baking ingredient due to its addictive nature and plant-based compounds. How is cocoa powder made? Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that’s a precursor for the production and secretion of serotonin, the chemical that promotes wellbeing and happiness. Cocoa powder has many health benefits and very few side effects. From the cocoa pod to natural cocoa powder, there are many, many steps to take before creating a consumable unsweetened organic cocoa powder or dark chocolate. So how is dark chocolate and cocoa powder made? First, cocoa beans are removed from their pods, later being fermented and then dried, roasted, and ground into a thick cocoa liquor. The liquor is actually made up of the very fine, broken down bean cell particles and cocoa butter that was tucked inside the cocoa nibs, which were inside of the beans. The cocoa liquor is then refined from dehusking dried and roasted beans. Later pressed to extract the cocoa butter, leaving behind a cake-like mass made up of pure, fine cocoa bean particles.
