By the 1820, new machines were invented that separated cocoa solids and butter. Soon, cocoa powder was produced. Chocolate now became more mass produced. The German chocolate manufacturer, still producing chocolates today, also established its first factories and helped to bring chocolate to a more mass consumption market. Finally, in 1848, the realization was made that adding cocoa butter, sugar, and cocoa liquor allowed the creation of what would be edible chocolate, introducing solid chocolate to people for the firs time and revolutionizing chocolate consumption to new levels.
