The research was conducted at Agriculture Product Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sriwijaya, Indralaya, Indonesia. In this research, cacao powder and honey were used as combination treatments to make chocolate bar. Randomized block factorial design was used. There were three levels of cocoa powder concentration, and two levels of honey concentration. The main ingredient of chocolate bar mix was gulo puan.
