Chocolate has always been around. It comes from Cocoa beans. The first use of chocolate, was for drinking, which dates back to the Olmec (1500 BC to about 400 BC). However, The Maya are generally given credit for creating the first modern chocolate beverage over 2,000 years ago, despite the fact that the beverage would undergo many more changes in Europe. Chocolate remained a drink until the Industrial Revolution, when many changes occurred that brought about the food today in its modern form. A Dutch family's (van Houten) inventions made mass production of shiny, tasty chocolate bars and related products possible.

Fun Fact- The original recipe contained Chili Powder instead of Sugar.
