Some scientists say the Aztecs and Mayans first used the Cacao Bean, and some say it was the Olmecs. King Montezuma drank golden goblets of ground Cacao and spices daily, believing it was 'the food of the gods'.

Hernando Cortez was the first European to discover the Cacao Bean. He brought it back from Central America to Spain around 1519. Chocolate was consumed as a beverage for centuries in Europe. The Spaniards first added sugar to the drink making it more widely palatable. In the 1600's the rest of Europeans learned the secret Spanish recipes.

No one invented chocolate. Chocolate comes from the coca plant and has been used for thousands of years. When the Spanish explored Mexico and South America they found the natives drinking a chocolate mixture from the coca bean/plant. The explorers took this back to Europe with them and the use of chocolate was introduced to Europe.
