Some history on chocolate
The history of chocolate can be traced back more than 3,000 years to the Maya, Tec Tec and Aztec people. These people prepared a beverage from the fruit of the cocoa bean. The Maya considered chocolate to be the food of the gods, held the cacao tree sacred, and buried dignitaries with bowls of chocolate. There are stories about the history in addition to this one.
