WORLD'S FIRST CHOCOLATE BAR
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

What was the world's first chocolate bar?

In 1759, Joseph Fry started making chocolate. In 1761, Joseph along with John Vaughan purchased the chocolate business of Walter Churchman and named the company Fry, Vaughn, and Company.

In 1795 after the death of Joseph, Joseph Storrs Fry takes over the company and patents a method of grinding cocoa beans using a Watt steam engine. This helped bring factory techniques into the cocoa business.

After a variety of name changes because of deaths, the name is finally changed to Joseph Fry & Son. The company was moved to Keynsham close by Bristol, England.

In 1847, the factory molded the very first chocolate bar by mixing cocoa butter back into the chocolate and adding sugar. This created a paste, which could be molded into the form of a chocolate bar.
