Chocolate, What Would Women Do Without It?!

I have always wondered, who was the incredibly intelligent person to first create chocolate? The first people were actually the ancient cultures from Central America, such as the Aztecs and Mayans. Chocolate is made from grounded cacao seeds, but it was first used by the ancient Central America civilizations to make a spicy, frothy drink. This drink actually played an important role in religious and social affairs. When the Spanish conquistadors invaded Central America, they brought the seeds back with them and spread them throughout Spain. Chocolate at this time was very bitter, but the Spanish added cinnamon and sugar to make it sweet.
