"Mousse" began with the Early Latin word "mulsus" ("Mulsus" was wine mixed with honey; the word itself meant "mixed with honey"). "Mulsus" turned into the Latin word "mulsum" ("Mulsum" was "mulsus" with a new definition; "Mulsum" literally meant "honey wine"). "Mulsum" turned into the Late Latin word "mulsa" ("Mulsa" was another new word that still meant "honey wine"). "Mulsa" turned into the Old French word "mousse" ("Mousse" meant "frothy"). The word is used as a noun for a french desert plate, and a type of hairstyling product.

Who made the first box of chocolate and when was it made?
The first box of chocolates is lost to the mists of time and history. It is highly unlikely that anyone knows for certain.
What we do know is that chocolate is a New World (western hemisphere) origin food. The natives of North and Central America enjoyed chocolate for centuries before Spanish conquerors ever arrived here. The Conquistadores took it home with them, and it became en vogue there very quickly. It took several years of drinking bitter chocolate before Spanish couturiers began adding sugar and honey to counteract the bitterness. Before it was introduce to Spanish Royalty, however, chocolate had little to no following at all. That first box may have been a gift from some long lost Spanish prince to a princess from another kingdom.
Likely as not, we will never know.

According to Alan Davidson in The Oxford Companion to Food, chocolate was first sold in London in 1657 by a Frenchman with a shop in Gracechurch Street, who advertised it as "an excellent West India drink [which] cures and preserves the body of many diseases". Not inly did he sell it ready to drink, but he also showed his customers how to make it themselves with a recipe book they were encouraged to buy. The great diarist Samuel Pepys refers several times to a morning drink of 'Chocolatte' in the 1660s. It's also thought that England may have been the first place where chocolate drinks were made using milk kinstead of just water, although this came later.
