Coenraad's son Casparus Johannes (1844–1901), employed since 1865, had a gift for marketing and contributed greatly to the growth of the company. This is pretty unusual for this type of cookie, normally being a technique you would use with something more akin to a shortbread.

Fine-tuned processing enhances its creaminess, warm caramel notes and rich color, resulting in a memorable flavor-forward experience. Finally the paste is tempered or cooled in a controlled manner to the right texture and consistency, and other ingredients, like almonds or peanuts, can be mixed into the paste.

I like black cocoa for its colour and its flavour but its not suitable for everything, the flavour isn’t a pronounced chocolate flavour its much more roasted than that so if you want classic chocolate flavours I would a traditional dutched powder. Compared with other milk chocolates, VH2 contains a high percentage of the best Belgian cocoa - 34%. Riding on its success, Van Houten expanded rapidly and by the end of the 19th century, it had expanded into the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany. Later developments were in Switzerland, where Daniel Peter introduced milk chocolate in 1875 and Rodolphe Lindt made chocolate more blendable by the process of conching in 1879.

Once the dough has had a little time to chill and firm up I like to take it out of the fridge and roll it to refine the shape and make it more evenly round.I like to divide it into rectangular plastic trays so it almost resembles the original bar form it came in. Refrigerate the ganache until thickened enough to hold its shape but still spreadable, 60-90 minutes. This resulted in opening up a whole new market for chocolate and Van Houtens’ vision of making the rich taste of cocoa accessible to everyone, was the very beginning of chocolate mass production. The chilled dough sets very firm so scooping or rolling it wasn’t an option so instead I opted to make it slice and bake style. The cookie element is based around my melting moment recipe, a melt in the mouth, incredibly tender cookie.

Coenraad Van Houten introduced a further improvement by treating the powder with alkaline salts ( potassium or sodium carbonates) so that the powder would mix more easily with water. I wanted to be able to make the dough a couple days in advance and then bake it as close to the bake sale as possible. Van Houten has been manufacturing cocoa powder since 1828, when its founder, Coenraad Van Houten, pioneered a process to manufacture cocoa in Amsterdam, Holland.
