The History of Chocolate

The tasty secret of the cacao (kah KOW) tree was discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the Americas. The pods of this tree contain seeds that can be processed into chocolate. The story of how chocolate grew from a local Mesoamerican beverage into a global sweet encompasses many cultures and continents.

The first people known to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink.

Later, the Spanish conquistadors brought the seeds back home to Spain, where new recipes were created. Eventually, and the drink’s popularity spread throughout Europe. Since then, new technologies and innovations have changed the texture and taste of chocolate, but it still remains one of the world’s favorite flavors

Chocolate Chip Scones

Yield: 8 servings

2 cups Flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Butter, cold cubes
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Cream
1 Egg, beaten
1 cup Chocolate Chips



Sift all the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Then cut the cold butter into cubes and mix into the dry ingredients with your hands. Mix until the butter is about pea size balls. Add the eggs one at a time and mix them in thoroughly. Then add the cream and chocolate chips and mix well. The dough will be wet.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray to make sure the scones will not stick. Form the dough into shapes like triangles or squares. You can shape the dough into a large disc and pat it out to about 1/2 thick and score it into 6 or 8 pieces.

Egg wash over the scones and bake at 375 F for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and baked through. Remove the scones from the oven and let cool. When cool, cut where you scored it serve and enjoy.
