CHOCOLATE 

Cocoa is a raw ingredient of chocolate. Chocolate is the combination of cocoa butter, cocoa, sugar and other ingredients. Milk chocolate is made with the addition of condensed or powdered milk to the chocolate mixture

In a 2006 study, Macht found that a chocolate bar elevated mood and elicited joy to a greater extent than an apple, but these effects were most pronounced at 5 and 30 min after consumption. This suggests that the sensory experience of eating chocolate improved mood, rather than neurochemical effects.
