What is your favorite chocolate bar? If you ask me, I would love to eat milk chocolate! It is said that flowers and chocolate are the most popular gifts. Also it is popular with girls, and I am not exceptional! Let's enter the world of chocolate!
Chocolate has a long history. At first, it was not the solid that we are familiar with but existed as the liquid for a very long time. A huge group of people called Mayans turned the cocoa beans into a drink. Cocoa beans became an important part of Mayan life and were used as currency at that time. This kind of cocoa drink was once called "liquid gold". Therefore, it was very expensive. With the progress of the times, cocoa beans returned to markets with a new look. Then the chocolate maker did many trials to make it more delicious, such as mixing it with other ingredients or string it with mild, caramel, vanilla. Today you can buy chocolate anywhere in the world. If you are curious about the history of chocolate, why don't you read this book?
