National Choose Your Chocolate Day is great for all types of chocolate: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate.

Since thousands of years ago, chocolate has been around. It started as a drinkable chocolate in the Olmec- and Aztec countries. Chocolate has become a popular, delicious treat after it traveled the globe through Spain and other countries.

Chocolate was initially a valuable commodity, sometimes with religious connections. In some cultures it was used as a currency. It was later consumed in Europe by the rich and royalty. The production of chocolate was difficult until the late-19th-century, when it became more accessible to everyone.
