The origins of chocolate, which is derived from  the Theobroma cacao tree, stretch back at least 4000  years.The plant is believed to have originated in the Amazon or  Orin â¦ oco basins in South America and was regarded by the Aztecs as  being of divine origin ('Theobroma' means 'food of the  gods').
After the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, chocolate was imported to Europe. There, it quickly became a court favorite. It was still served as a beverage, but the Spanish added sugar or honey to counteract the natural bitterness. Within about a hundred years, chocolate established a foothold throughout Europe.
