It's amazing to think about it, but chocolate was unknown to European culture until the explorers went over to South America in the 1500s. They brought back this amazing substance, chocolate, which the locals had been drinking as a bitter brew. The Mayans didn't have sugar. It's one of those cases where it took multiple cultures to get something just right. The Europeans had the sugar, added it into the cocoa, and voila! Suddenly there was a treat that everybody craved.

At first chocolate was quite an exclusive thing, of course. It had to travel an enormous distance to get to Europe. Little kids wouldn't be guzzling hot cocoa by the gallon :). However, we are lucky enough to live in a modern time where hot cocoa can be enjoyed by all. Mix up a batch and toast!
