| Have a look at all the delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolate you can't eat. |
Did you ever wonder what was inside that delicious bite-size chocolate? Well, you can find out today! Here are some of its ingredients.

| This is how everyday cocoa butter looks like |
-Cocoa butter is a pale-yellow, edible vegetable fat extracted from the cocoa bean.
-Cocoa butter is a healthy fat, mostly saturated just like coconut oil. Cocoa butter benefits include: preventing skin dryness and peeling; healing chapped lips; fighting signs of aging; soothing burns, rashes, and infections; treating mouth sores; working as a shaving cream; improving heart health; and raising immunity.
-Cocoa butter's chemical formula is CH3(CH2)16COOH.
-Cocoa butter's chemical name is theobroma oil.
-Some of its physical and chemical properties include:
1. brittle fracture below 20ºC
2. a melting point about 35ºC
3. softening around 30-32ºC.
- I included this because it's at the top of the ingredient list meaning a lot of it is used in the actual product.
2) Hazelnut
- Hazelnut is made from the nut of the hazel and includes any of the nuts deriving from species of the genus Corylus.
-Hazelnuts contain compounds that can battle heart disease and diabetes, boost brain function, and even help you lose weight.
- Hazelnut's chemical formula is C8H14O.
- Hazelnut's chemical name is filbertone.
- Some of its physical and chemical properties include:
1. Hazelnuts are very low in saturated fats (7% of the total fat).
2. Raw hazelnuts contain between 4 and 6% moisture, while roasted or baked contain about 2-3%.
3. Low moisture and high vitamin E levels contribute resistance to oxidation and development of off flavors.
-I included hazelnut because it is a widely popular ingredient in many products.
3) Sugar
- Sugar is found naturally in most plants, but especially in sugarcane and sugar beets. It also occurs naturally alongside fructose and glucose in other plants, in particular fruits and some roots such as carrots.
- Sugar has a high calorie content that will give your body energy that you lack. However, all that energy is short lived and it can only give your short bust of increased productivity. Another point to add is sugar’s glycolic acid can be very helpful in maintaining the health and look of your skin. Using it can help elimination blemishes and restoring the balance in the skin’s oils.
- Sugar's chemical formula is C12H22O11.
- Sugar's chemical name is saccharose, more commonly known as sucrose.
- Some of its physical and chemical properties include:
1. Pure sucrose is most often prepared as a fine, colorless, odorless crystalline powder with a pleasing, sweet taste. Large crystals are sometimes precipitated from water solutions of sucrose onto a string to form rock candy.
2. Sucrose melts and decomposes at 186 °C to form caramel, and when combusted produces carbon, carbon dioxide, and water.
3. Sucrose has a hydrogen to oxygen ratio of 2:1.
- I included sugar because it's a common household item.
