Chocolate, which is often wrapped in foil to keep its flavor and shape, was first enjoyed by the ancient Mexicans as a spiced drink. It was later introduced to Europe, resulting in various experiments including the addition of sugar. Chemical reactions also took place as the environment varied greatly from the hot and humid cacao-growing region. One of the most notable inventions was the creation of solid chocolate. The result of many people’s ingenuity now melts sweetly in our mouths. Even today, the enchanting history of chocolate continues to evolve.
