Secret: Artificial chocolate is never as good as the real thing in more ways than one. The taste of artificial chocolate is bland and is like eating cardboard. This chocolate is made of polysorbate 60 which is short for polyoxyethylene-20-sorbitan monostearate. It is made from corn, palm oil, and petroleum that can not spoil. In many cases it replaces dairy products. When contaminated it can cause cancer and other health issues over time.
