A product made from a combination of cocoa, vegetable fat, and      sweeteners. It is used as a lower-cost alternative to true chocolate,  as it uses less-expensive hard vegetable fats such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil in place of the more expensive cocoa butter. It may   also be known as "compound coating" or "chocolatey coating" when used as a coating for candy.[1] It is often used in less expensive     candy bars to replace en-robed chocolate on a product.
