Everybody loves chocolate if it’s tasty and with health benefits its variety of chocolate known as herbal chocolate with Moringa contains, which used for its medical benefits for many years. Moringa is a fantastic complement to chocolate since it is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals; Moringa chocolate made with herbal ingredients has several possible health advantages. Moringa chocolate contains dark cocoa powder, pea nut cardamom and cinnamon, cocoa butter, and Moringa powder. The present study shows that chocolate has a little nutty, mouth fresh and earthy flavor that balances off its sweetness, and quality evaluation were done for Moringa. Physiochemical analysis was done for Moringa chocolate to check the amount of protein, fat, energy, Fiber, and carbohydrates which indicates the presence of different bimolecular present in Moringa chocolate.
