By adding a viable lactic acid bacterium to a fat or oil composition, the present invention has succeeded in manufacturing a lactic acid bacterium-containing fat or oil composition that has a high viability and excellent resistance of the lactic acid bacterium. By adding a lactic acid bacterium powder or a chocolate with a high lactic acid bacterium concentration to a chocolate dough after tempering and before shaping, moreover, the present invention has succeded in manufacturing a lactic acid bacterium-containing chocolate containing a viable lactic acid bacterium by a simple manufacturing method. Thus, provided is a lactic acid bacterium-containing chocolate with high palatability that contains a viable lactic acid bacterium.
