I love chocolate so much that I wanted to know not only about the history of chocolate, but also about chocolate today. My favorite chocolate, milk chocolate, is not the healthiest type of chocolate, but rather dark chocolate. Just like the boy in the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I could swim in a milk chocolate waterfall if I visit the only chocolate waterfall today in Australia.
If it were not for Columbus finding the cocoa beans on a Mayan trading boat, the Aztecs trying to make beer and the Mayans who made the chocolate drink, we would not be able to eat chocolate bars and drink chocolate milk or hot cocoa. We would not have chocolate eggs, chocolate ice cream, chocolate Easter bunnies, nor many other chocolate-covered sweets. Thank goodness that so many people in history loved chocolate as much as I do!
I never knew there was so much to chocolate! If I could I would thank the Mayans and Columbus for bringing chocolate to the world. I always thought hard chocolate was first known but I guess I was wrong. I think this is a great blog with a lot of great info! I like the slide show. I also think it is cool how you can click on the links on your posts. I really want to go to that chocolate waterfall in Australia! so cool! I would bring a bucket with me to drink from if I went.
