Have you ever tried spicy chocolate? What do you think? I did so when researching this video and it's really delicious :D

Also, there appears to be an error at 8:09, that text should read "Cuckoo Clocks ring in the distance"

There is a place in Santa Fe New Mexico that makes delicious versions of historical chocolate. Ive tried versions with prickly pear juice and chili's. It is actually delicious and healthy since there is no added sugar.

While you did such a great job telling the history of chocolate, I think I'm more concerned about the future of chocolate!

Awesome video! It’s interesting to learn that chocolate has a dark and bitter past.

The word chocolate actually comes completely from Nahuatl. Xocolatl, it means “bitter water”, since it was literally a bitter dark chocolate drink. I’ve tasted original versions of chocolate down in Mexico and it’s really nice, they sweetened it with honey.

No surprise, that about Nestle. They are a company to avoid in all its forms, for SO MANY REASONS. Of course they have managed not to meet the guidelines presented. Glad to see that shout out to Green & Black...my favorite chocolate. And there are lots of fair trade brands available in many stores these days.
