Morde Compound chocolate is a product made from a combination of cocoa, vegetable fat and sweeteners. It is an alternative option for chocolate as chocolate is natural and is made by the combination of pure cocoa, cocoa butter and many more pure ingredients however the compound makes the difference as it is made by adding vegetable oil like hydrogenated palm kernel oil or palm oil in it in place of cocoa butter, which makes it cheaper in price and a lot more diverse.
