The making of chocolate began thousands of years ago and is very different from today. We get chocolate from tropical Theobroma Cocoa Tree seeds. The making of chocolate started in the Olmec Civilization in Mesoamerica. They used to make a dark brown drink with the
seeds of Cocoa Tree, that tasted bitter but not sweet. To add flavor to that they used spices like vanilla, honey and chilly. After some years a Spanish Explorer brought that from North America to Spain.
