From Ancient Mesoamerica to Your Plate: The Amazing Journey of Chocolate
Chocolate began over 4,000 years ago with the Maya and Aztec people, who ground cacao beans into a bitter ceremonial drink. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers brought cacao to Europe, where people began adding sugar to the recipe. The first chocolate bar was created in 1847, and milk chocolate followed in 1875. Today, chocolate is enjoyed everywhere ? as bars, fancy desserts, and warm cocoa ? all thanks to its long, exciting journey through history!
