Sweet fact about chocolate you didn’t know! Chocolate was once currency! The ancient Aztecs and Mayans valued cacao beans so much that they used them as money. You could trade a few beans for food, tools, or entertainment! A rabbit might cost 10 cacao beans, while a good turkey was worth 100. Can you imagine paying everything now with chocolate?!
