Chocolate was originally conceived of not as a bar but  as a drink over 4000 years ago in Central America and due to this long history, there's a huge diversity of different chocolate drinks and ingredients throughout the Mayan, Aztec, and Zapotec regions of modern-day Mexico down through Honduras with drinks like champurrado, tejate, bu'pu, pozol, tascalate, and popo.
