People who love chocolate but only the good kind

History of chocolate

It seems I'm really into blogging today:)
Did you know that chocolate has first appeared around 3100 years ago in Central America but back then it wasn't considered as the sweet treat people now enjoy but as a celebratory beer-like beverage.  Cacao seeds were used to make ceremonial beverages consumed by elites of the Aztecs and other civilizations. Latter on the Spanish conquistadors who conquered the Aztec empire in the 16th century have brought this delicious treat to Europe,where chocolate has amazed everybody who got to taste it.
Even back in those times chocolate was considered one of the best treats a person could enjoy,so it seems that chocolate has it's own amazing stories to tell...

This is very true. Chocolate orginated in the Maya and Aztec region of Central America. When the explorers came to steal from them, chocolate was one of the highest prized goods brought back to Europe. Now Europe makes the best chocolate in the world...hmph go figure.
