The developed chocolates were investigated for their sensory characteristics, shelf-life and microbial analysis. The TPC of VT and TT were at 42.24±0.107g/mg of GAE and 28.33±0.11 during 0th day by the end 150th day it was reduced to 32.44±0.151 g/mg of GAE and 21.77±0.057 g/mg of GAE for chocolate prepared from vacuum dried and tray dried cocoa bean.
