Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brown food preparation of Theobroma cacao seeds, roasted and ground, and often flavored with vanilla.
The best buy for me is See's. The dark chocolate raspberry creams are as good as it gets. For diabetics, try the dark chocolates with walnuts. You won't believe they are sugar-free.They also make the best peanut brittle I have ever tasted. I don't even consider buying any other brittle. They are generous with samples as well, and they just know that once I start, I will be walking out with a box.How can you beat a place that lets you pick the chocolates you want to fill a box? I have tried nearly all of their flavors and can't think of one that I didn't like. Thanks to all of them for their generosity in giving out samples. The cheap people at Godiva wouldn't even think of doing such a thing.
Chocolate originated in ancient Mesoamerica, specifically in the region encompassing present-day Mexico and Central America, where the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec civilizations cultivated and consumed cacao beans.
