Chocolate is the nation's favourite treat and who doesn't love to indulge in the comfort of eating their favourite bar.
Long before Europeans consumed chocolate, it was a part of the culture of ancient civilizations such as the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs - who even used cacao beans (the seed from which chocolate is made) as currency.
The birth of the chocolate bar didn't happen until the mid-19th century, when chocolate dynasty Fry & Sons developed a way to mix cocoa powder, sugar and cocoa butter to produce a smooth paste which could be poured into a mould. This is considered the first time chocolate was designed for eating rather than being consumed as a drink.
