Here are some CHOCOLATE FACTS... errr, I wonder what shape Queen Victoria's "specially molded chocolate" was! Those naughty Brits!


…Great chocolate manufacturers choose their beans in the same way as a wine-maker chooses his or her grape varieties.

…Wicker baskets, filled with cacao beans, were among the gifts which the Aztecs offered to the conquistadors.

…For the Aztecs, cocao chocolate was a luxury and the cocao beans were like gold, a rare commodity that served as both currency and gifts for kinds and gods.

…The Aztecs used to prepare a drink for the gods made up of ground cocao bean paste mixed with spices and corn.

…In 1900, Queen Victoria sent her New Year's greetings to the British troops stationed in South Africa during the Boer War in the form of a specially molded chocolate bar.
