After all, chocolate does deserve more acknowledgement than simply thinking about how delicious it is. It has basically been around forever. While we don't know who invented it or exactly how it became as popular as it is today, we do know some things. Researchers believe that it's been around since 1500 B.C., where they believe the ancient Olmec tribes used cacao for a ceremonial drink. It was the Central American Mayans who really made chocolate more popular, as they revered it and used it in many celebrations and important transactions. Who can really blame them?

In 1641, chocolate arrived in the United States, in Florida, on a Spanish ship. Researchers believe that the first American chocolate house opened in Boston in 1682, and by 1773, cocoa beans were a huge import. During the Revolutionary War, it was even sometimes given to soldiers as payment instead of money.
