Chocolate History
Chocolate originated in South America, where it grows naturally. The Mayan and Aztec enjoyed chocolate as a hot, unsweetened drink. Cocoa beans were also used as currency. When the Spanish arrived in South America they added sugar and it quickly became a drink of royalty in Europe. During this holiday season create a new tradition for your family. Jazz up classic hot chocolate with a dash of vanilla, cinnamon or nutmeg.
