Today everyone knows what chocolate is and it is eaten by
millions of people all over the world. This is how chocolate became popular. Hernan Cortes, a Spanish explorer, travelled to South America in the 16th century. There he met Aztecs, who served him a drink called “chocolatl”. “Chocolatl” was made from a powder which was produced from cocoa beans. Cocoa beans grow on cacao trees. Some cocoa beans were taken to Spain by Cortes. Later sugar was added to the powder and a tastier drink was produced. Soon, it became popular all over Europe. In the 19th century, milk was added by the Swiss and the chocolate bar that is konwn today was produced. Since then, chocolate bars have been eaten by millions of people all over the world. It is certain that chocolate will be enjoyed for many years to come.
