Discovered approximately 2000 years ago in the tropical rain forests of the Americas, chocolate (kah kow), in time, evolved into what we know chocolate to be today. Columbus introduced Spain to chocolate in the form of dark brown cocoa beans when he returned from his visit to America. Known as the “food of the Gods” by the Aztec Indians, Emperor Montezuma served the Spaniards a warm liquid chocolate in goblets made of gold. The Spaniards didn’t like the bitter drink so they added sugar to give it a sweeter flavor.
