The Mayans were believed to have created first chocolate beverage around 2,000 years ago and today, hot chocolate is consumed throughout the world. Many people use the terms "hot chocolate" and "hot cocoa"
interchangeably, but apparently the difference is that "hot
cocoa" is made from powder that has had most of the rich cocoa butter
from the ground cacao beans removed and "hot chocolate"is made directly from bar chocolate, which already contains cocoa, sugar and cocoa butter. Fascinating stuff. Let's get to the good part...
