This may sound stupid, but....
I was eating chocolate ice cream when a question popped up in my head.
When was chocolate invented?
I think this is an interesting question. But I don't know the answer... Thanks for Helping! Merry Christmas!

Chocolate wasn't invented. It comes from the cocoa bean which has been used by indigenous peoples for eons as food and medicine. I think it grows in south america.

Go to Google and type in "Who discovered chocolate" and you will see that Christopher Columbus was given a bag of cocoa beans. However, another article states that chocoate dates back almost 2,000 years when discovered in the rainforest.
