The story of chocolate itself really started in Mesoamerica where it was a drink enjoyed by the elite class of the Aztec and Mayan world. We don’t know the exact dates of when chocolate was first invented but what we do know is that evidence of fermented drinks made from cocoa dating back to 1900 BC exists.

 

A chocolate basket was actually said to have been a gift given to Christopher Columbus on one of his early voyages to Mesoamerica and the Aztec civilisation by an Indian chief although this story is a little hard to confirm. What is known is that he and the other conquistadors had observed chocolate’s value to the local inhabitants, even going as far as to take some cacao beans back to Spain. At this time, however, he had no idea what to do with the mysterious, valuable seeds, that he referred to as almonds at first.

 

Once European chefs had got their heads around how to make chocolate from the bitter and tough cacao beans they came from, the treat exploded in popularity around the continent. One of the first examples of this was when Anne of Spain married Louis XIII of France in 1615. She presented her new husband with the mysterious exotic drink from the New World, which soon became a huge hit amongst the French court. It wasn’t long before fellow royals and aristocrats across the continent were gorging themselves on as much as they could get their hands on.

 

Chocolate is now no longer only an elite pleasure. Everyone today can enjoy chocolate whether it be as food or as a drink. The tradition of the box of chocolates or chocolate basket as we know it today goes back as far as 1853 when Chocolatier companies took advantage of falling import costs and created the first box of chocolates. Thus beginning the trend, we know so well today and the holiday and sweet treats like chocolate were forever joined in a synergetic matrimony.
