The first Europeans to consume chocolate were members of the Spanish royal family after returning conquistadors brought cacao from the Americas to the Spanish court as a novelty and treasure. Chocolate was a rich, fortifying and spiritual drink for centuries before it went through its evolution into bar form.

Three recipes are included so that you can make a European-styled sipping chocolate, a drinking chocolate or an American-styled hot chocolate.
