Introduction

• The chocolate we know of goes through several
  steps before it hits our stores shelves.
• Back in 1500 BC-400 BC - The Olmec Indians are
  believed to be the first to grow cocoa beans as a
  domestic crop.
• In 250-900 CE people would make an unsweetened
  chocolate drink that was only for the elite
  members of the Myan society.
• It wasnt until 1674 that chocolate started to be
  eaten how we know it today.
