Most of us like chocolate but have you wondered where it comes from or how it is made? Chocolate comes from the Aztecs. It was first introduced into Europe by the Spaniards, who learned about it from the Aztecs at the time of the Spanish invasion of Mexico by Cortés in 1519. It was then brought to England around 1657. In the United States, chocolate was first manufactured in 1765. By the early 1990s, the USA was producing 1.2 million tons of chocolate a year. It is believed that in that year, the average American ate about 5.1 kilos of chocolate! Chocolate is made from the fruit of the cacao tree which is more commonly known as the cocoa bean. The beans are dried in the sun, cleaned in special machines and roasted. They are then shelled and ground into chocolate.
