Abstract
A chocolate of good nutritional value offering improved tolerance to consumers who may be allergic to protein in cocoa or milk and/or sensitive to theobromine or caffeine and/or react to bioactive amines present in regular chocolate. It contains no cocoa liquor or cocoa powder or milk powder. Its protein source is protein hydrolysate and/or 1-amino acids, the latter being selected to give good flavor while retaining the essential qualities of the protein.
