Sugar or alternatives are added to reduce the strong bitter and astringent taste of cocoa and to enhance the flavor of chocolates. Traditional chocolates contain approximately 30–50% of sugars, that gives sweet taste to the chocolates, and allowing aromatic flavors of cacao beans to provide essential taste while making high-quality chocolate.
