Chocolate, which first appeared in history, originated from a cocoa-containing food of ancient Indians in Mexico. It tastes bitter and spicy. 1526, the Spanish explorer cortes brought it back to Spain and dedicated it to the king at that time, which made Europeans regard it as a drug of ecstasy and set off a frenzy. Later, in the16th century, the Spanish made chocolate "sweet". They mixed cocoa powder and spices in sugarcane juice to make a sweet drink. In 1876, a Swiss named Peter was ingenious and added some milk to the above drinks, which completed the whole process of modern chocolate creation. Soon after, it was thought that liquid chocolate would be dehydrated and concentrated into pieces of chocolate candy which are easy to carry and store. 1828, Van Houten of the Netherlands thought of removing 2/3 of its fat and making it an easy-to-drink cocoa beverage.
Chocolate is a transliteration of foreign words. At first, Cubans and Mexicans called a soft drink made from wild cocoa "chocolate", while Spaniards called it chocolate.
