And in order for such a wonderful breakfast to be not only very tasty, but also as healthy as possible, we are not too lazy and will prepare our own favorite childhood delicacy - chocolate butter - at home.
Taste of childhood
Once upon a time, back in the times of the USSR, chocolatethe oil was produced in dairies. The classic recipe for chocolate butter in those days included the use of fresh cow's milk and natural cocoa. This delicacy fed schoolchildren in pioneer camps and sanatoriums, it was sold in cooking and confectionery.
Later, when the iron curtain swung open andOverseas products became available, new technologies gradually superseded the good old classics. Moreover, the domestic industry was not experiencing their best times. A variety of recipes instantly won many fans. And only years later, people again began to think about quality. The imported dessert oil, chocolate and vanilla, flavored with nuts and powders, which had been fallen in love by that time, often contained not at all useful vegetable fats, emulsifiers, synthetic dyes and flavors. It was then that the time has come to think about the long-forgotten taste from childhood.

For our dessert, we will use only the most delicious and healthy.
