Swiss ChocolateLindt, Toblerone, and other Swiss firms make chocolate gifts that are sold around the globe. So when did the mystique of Swiss chocolate begin?

Nevertheless, the same technical abilities that served the watch industry must have been at work in the chocolate arena, as the early pioneers developed both innovative machines and ever more tasty recipes.
