It’s said that on this day 471 years ago, chocolate was first introduced to Europeans. Fast forward to today, what was traditionally a ceremonial drink in Aztec and Mayan societies is now enjoyed in a variety of forms.
Whether you’re feeling like having cake, bread, drinks, or just want it straight up as a candy bar, here are treats to enjoy this World Chocolate Day:
Cakes for celebration
Scout’s Honor’s Davao chocolate tart
Half Saint’s 64% dark chocolate tart and white chocolate mousse cake
