DescriptionChocolate spread is a chocolate-flavoured paste which is eaten mostly spread on breads and toasts or similar pastries such as muffins and pitas. Chocolate spread is a product often favored by children and serves as a prevalent spread on their sandwiches. Some adults enjoy chocolate spread sandwiches as a comfort food. Although it tastes, smells, and looks like chocolate it does not solidify. The paste usually contains cocoa and oil, and is also likely to contain milk and additional taste and smell components. At times it also includes nuts or honey. Chocolate spread is normally sold in glass jars or plastic tubs.
