the aztecshad the first chocolate. when Herman Cortes, a spanish explorer, landed his ship on the Aztecs homeland, eh discovered the cocoa beans and took them as he thought they were treasure. later one, when Herman and his crew where out at sea, they thout that they had discovered that the beans were sheep poo. so they chucked them over board. what a waste! it took years after that for cocoa to come into the western world.
The first European who can rightly claim the "discovery" of cocoa is Christopher Columbus. In 1502, during his last voyage to the Caribbean, he lands on the island of Guanaja, before the coast of present-day Honduras.He was greeted by the Aztec who offered him a bag of cocoa beans in exchange for trade goods. Columbus failed to grasp the importance of these beans, more so, he detests the beverage prepared from these beans, which is known as Xocolatl (or tchocolatl). And he returns to Spain without realising the economic importance of these cocoa beans.-http://www.neuhaus-chocolates.com/index.asp-Q-Page-E-Who-discovered-chocolate-or-Xocolatl?--54011172
