I absolutely love chocolate!  Especially dark chocolate!
I love it too. It has quite the history, there's evidence of chocolate beverages as far back as 1900 BCE, how crazy is that?
Really!  What country did chocolate originate in?
Well the earliest use that I mentioned was done by the Olmecs in Mexico.
That is fascinating!  Now it is loved all over the world.  Have you ever tried chocolate covered bacon?  Sounds weird, but it is delicious! 
I haven't and I can't lie, that sounds kinda gross to me! The history extends to other Mesoamerican people too, the Mayas and Aztecs made a beverage called xocolātl with chocolate!
Did it taste sweet like the chocolate we know of today, or bitter?
Well the name actually means "bitter water" in the Nahautl language, so they definitely didn't realize you have to ferment the chocolate to bring out the sweet taste!
