The earliest chocolate, which originated with the ancient Indians in Mexico, was a food containing cocoa powder. It tastes bitter and spicy. Later, in the 16th century, the Spanish made chocolate "sweet". They mixed cocoa powder and spices in sugarcane juice to make a sweet drink. In 1876, a Swiss man named Peter took the unusual step of adding some milk to the drink to complete the creation of modern chocolate. Before long, it was thought that liquid chocolate would be dehydrated and concentrated into chunks that were easy to carry and keep.
As people's love for chocolate grows and there are more types of chocolate on the market, chocolate companies are growing.
