Chocolates are among the best souvenirs to bring back from Las Vegas. Since many shops offer customized chocolate, you can even put a unique message on your treat.

Chocolate’s story started over 4,000 years ago in ancient Mesoamerica, present-day Mexico. After the discovery of the cacao plant, the Olmec, one of the ancient civilizations of Latin America, was the first to learn how to process the plant.

Many years later, the Mayans categorized hot chocolate beverages as the god’s drink. The Mayan chocolate drink was made from roasted and ground cacao seeds, and then water, cornmeal, and chilies were added. Finally, the drink was poured from one pot to another to create a thick foamy beverage locally referred to as “xocolatl,” which translates to “bitter water.”

The Mayans would drink cacao before going to war or as an aphrodisiac.
