Chocolate

Chocolate is the greatest gift that the Mexicans gave to the world because the story of the humble cacao bean is a bonafide out-of-the-jungle, into-civilization tale of culinary wonder.

It has become one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world, and a vast number of foodstuffs involving chocolate have been created. Chocolate chip cookies have become very common, and very popular, in most parts of Europe and North America. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages such as chocolate milk and hot chocolate.
