Chocolate and the traditional way to produce it are associated with Central America. Over 1400 years ago ancient Mayas, Toltecs and Aztecs started the usage of cocoa plant as a source of a soothing sweet drink. In 16th century chocolate was introduced to Europe as Spanish conquistadors took some cocoa plants and essential chocolate making equipment over the Atlantic Ocean. Chocolate soon became to a symbol of status as it was expensive and exotic, yet so tasty and delightful. By the 19th century the French had invented a regular, solid chocolate bar instead of the caprice liquid form. This made the chocolate to spread around as it is remarkably easier to transport and store something solid than a sticky sweet liquid.
