You all know the Chocolate Company: Hershey's; but where did it all begin? As with Walt Disney, it started with a dream. A dream that a certain person could rule the candy market. This certain person is Milton Snavely Hershey. Milton Hershey founded Hershey’s Chocolate Company in 1900. Did you know that his first product wasn't chocolate? No, he created and sold many other confections; his greatest being caramel. His highest achievement of all was creating the world's largest candy manufacturing company today. Milton S. Hershey learned most of his work from Joe Royer, the owner of an Ice Cream Parlor and Garden. Joe Royer taught Milton for four years until he quit. Milton didn't quit because he didn't like the apprenticeship. No, he quit to start his own confectionary business. Milton S. Hershey gave this world a company that changed the way we see chocolate today.
Before Milton Hershey had a world wide known chocolate business, he had a small, not so well known caramel business. Milton Hershey began his chocolate making business in 1893, when his father and him traveled to Chicago to attend a big job fair (Tarshis 14), but it wasn’t until 1900 when Hershey succeed in making the first milk chocolate candy bar (The Hershey Company). Hershey attended an exhibit hall of new and amazing inventions around the world at the fair in Chicago. As Hershey walked into the exhibit hall, he was struck by a delectable smell (Tarshis 14). “Hershey was already a leading candy maker. He had created the largest caramel factory in the country, but he became convinced that the future of his business would be chocolate. At the fair in Chicago, Hershey Bought chocolate-making equipment. He had it shipped back to his caramel factory in Pennsylvania. Then he hired two chocolate makers. Soon the company was churning out chocolate candies in more than 100 shapes” (Tarshis 15).
He was a man full of integrity, sincerity, and character; who changed the lives of many by providing them homes, jobs, and of course the satisfaction from eating a scrumptious creamy milk chocolate bar (Erdman). He is well-known for not only “The Hershey Chocolate Company”, but his own “town of Hershey” (“Milton Hershey” 144). As a philanthropist, entrepreneur, and giver; Milton Hershey created his own American Dream through many failures and perseverance.
“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”- Dalai Lama. In my opinion, the chocolate chip cookie has an interesting story.

Milton Hershey had some bumps on his road to success. Hershey was a success but, he was failure at one point. In 1872 he started his first Lancaster confectionery shop. But, soon after he opened it closed. Then he visited his dad in Colorado and ment another confectioner there. That’s where Milton learned how to make caramels with fresh milk.

Somehow, the notion came to me that I was going to find motivation from seemingly insignificant things. For instance, I remembered this interesting trick I learned back in Colorado. Out there, I discovered that adding fresh milk to caramel made it tastier (“Milton S. Hershey”). Now, why I didn’t utilize this little tidbit earlier, I don’t know. It would have saved me much grief and anxiety, but I guess that’s the way the (chocolate chip) cookie crumbles. Poor humor aside, I used this knowledge to start the Lancaster Caramel Company in 1887 at age thirty (“Milton Hershey”). This was the windfall I so desperately needed. By 1900, the company had become so successful that I sold it for $1 million (“Milton Hershey”). Earlier, though, I found my true calling. In 1893, I attended the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. There, I noticed a German man demonstrating the production of milk chocolate (Woodruff). I was so fascinated by this that I bought his equipment right off him and took it back to Lancaster (“Milton S. Hershey”). A couple of years later, on April 17, 1895 in fact, the first Hershey’s Bar was sold (“Milton S. Hershey”). I became the first American with a formula for making milk chocolate (“Milton S. Hershey”). My life had completely turned around just because I made a few minor observations. Life can be an amazing thing. To make sure that this newfound success didn’t escape me, I observed two

An average human will eat almost 19,000 chocolate chip cookies in their lifetime. And the great person who let us have all those cookies, is the person that invented it, which is Ruth Wakefield. But, did you ever think about how it was before that cookie was invented? Probably not, the chocolate chip cookie, started so many other inventions. Imagine life without chocolate chip cookies, we would miss so much more than just than the one treat. Your last chocolate chip cookie probably wasn´t very long ago, that´s why you will be interested in this topic. Today I am here to convince you that Ruth Wakefield, the creator of the chocolate chip cookie, needs to memorialized for her invention. In my speech today I will cover why Ruth Wakefield should
When Ruth Graves Wakefield accidentally invented the chocolate chip cookie in the early 1937 she couldn't have known just how successful her accident would become. Working as a dietitian until 1930, she and her husband bought a tourist lodge in Whitman, Massachusetts called the Toll House Inn. One day, while making chocolate cookies Wakefield realized that she was out of baking chocolate. Instead she substituted with a bar of semisweet Nestle chocolate. However, the chopped up Nestle bar did not melt and mix into the batter as baking chocolate does. Instead the pieces of chocolate had only softened. Her new creation, which she called the Toll House Crunch Cookie became wildly popular. The Nestle Company later went on to print her cookie recipe
A lot of movies today are not only created for the cause of enjoyment, however frequently bring a solid lesson the director wishes to carry. In the movie Chocolat (directed by Lasse Hallstorm), Vianne defy the idea that the way of life, repute and their related ethical values do no longer make a person morally right.

After hours of researching the history of Red velvet cake, I seem to have found that no one really knows exactly when and where Red Velvet Cake originated, I found that Velvet cakes have been being made since the 1800s. The recipes called for cocoa and soften flour and make finer texture cakes and it was the smoother texture that gave the cakes the name Velvet cakes. One of the most notable mentions of Red Velvet cake was in 1943 in Irma S. Rombauer’s “The Joy of Cooking” which was one of the first nationalized mentions of the Red Velvet cake. During my mission to find about the history of Red Velvet Cake I found that a time during World War II, food was being rationed, the items that people needed for baking (for example,
