Fun Facts
Think chocolate is just a sweet treat for kids? Prepare for a taste of history! The cacao tree originated over 5,000 years ago in the Amazon Basin (modern-day Ecuador/Peru) didn't eat chocolate bars – they drank it! . Aztec emperor Montezuma supposedly drank up to 50 cups a day! It wasn't until Europeans got their hands on it (and added sugar!) that it began its transformation into the sweet bars we know today.
