Why did Milton Hershey choose the to make the Hershey bar when he had already set up the Lancaster Caramel Company, which continued to make caramels in the
1890s? Well,while Hershey was making caramels he became increasingly interested in chocolate making. In 1900 Hershey sold his caramel company for $1,000,000. "For years, he worked at a viable recipe for making milk chocolate-a process which up to then had been kept a closely guarded secret by the Swiss. Finally, through trial and error, he hit upon the right formula of milk, sugar, and cocoa that enabled him to realize his dream of mass-producing and distributing milk chocolate candy. What had once been a luxury for the rich was to become an enjoyment that anyone could afford- the Hershey bar." Thanks to Milton's determination to make an affordable chocolate; people all over the world have been able to enjoy the delectable treat for years.
