What is the text structure of the excerpt below?

"All candy has a different process by which it is made. M&Ms are popular chocolate treats made from a mixture of liquid milk chocolate and a hard candy shell. First, the chocolate is poured into small molds. Then, it is left to cool and harden. A conveyor belt transfers the chocolate to another section of a factory, where the chocolates are coated with the hard candy shell. Finally, they are coated with color!"

What is the text structure of the excerpt below?

"Candy is often categorized into two different types: chocolate or sugary. Even though both have sugar in them, chocolate also includes the key ingredient, cocoa. Sugary candies like Skittles, Smarties, and Sweet Tarts are made by combining sugar and water with other flavors and colors. To make chocolate, cocoa beans are combined with other ingredients such as sugar and milk. While both candies are considered sweets, chocolate often has more fat than sugary candies. Both types of candy can have an effect on your body— chocolate contains small amounts of caffeine, and sugar might cause a “sugar” rush!"
