Until the mid 1800s, chocolate was mostly used as a drink in both America and Europe. Not until 1847 when an English company, Fry and Sons, combined additional cocoa butter with the ground cocoa powder and sugar to make a more palatable product for eating. In 1876, Daniel Peter, a Swiss confectioner, used a new product, dried milk, created by Henri Nestle, to make the first solid milk chocolate. This is also around the same time that chocolate began appearing in baked goods.
