How Can Compound Chocolate Manufacturers Improve Snap and Bite?
Why is snap important in compound chocolate?
Snap defines the crispness and firmness of chocolate. A strong snap signals proper crystallization and high-quality texture, which consumers associate with premium chocolate.
What challenges do manufacturers face with snap?
Inconsistent crystallization, oil migration, and poor fat structuring often lead to soft or crumbly textures, especially in warm climates and prolong shelf storage.
