Product type
Compound chocolate is a type of chocolate that is made from a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter substitutes, and sweeteners. Unlike real chocolate, which relies on cocoa butter, compound chocolate uses vegetable fats, making it easier to work with and more affordable. It is commonly used in baking, coating, and confectionery applications due to its versatility and ability to set quickly at room temperature.
