Hot chocolate is a popular and delicious drink that many people enjoy for breakfast or on chilly days.
It has a rich, sweet taste, and it gets its name because it’s usually served hot.
The story of hot chocolate began hundreds of years ago with the Mayans and the Aztecs, ancient civilizations in Central and South America.

They used to grind up cocoa beans to make a bitter drink, which is very different from the sweet treat we enjoy today!
When explorers brought cocoa beans to Europe, people began adding sugar and milk to create a drink much more like the hot chocolate we know and love.
It’s typically made by mixing together hot water or milk with a special chocolate powder.
These chocolate powders often have sugar and cocoa in them, the key ingredient originally used by the Mayans and Aztecs.
Hot chocolate can also sometimes have little marshmallows or whipped cream on top to make it even more delicious.
So if you ever sip a mug of hot chocolate and close your eyes, you can imagine you’re tasting a sweet version of a drink enjoyed by people long, long ago!
