Little History About Chocolate Pecan Pie :

Particularly in North America, chocolate has a long history. Since the 15th century, Aztecs have been enjoying chocolate, a warm, chocolate-flavored liquid drink. It was the favorite drink of Emperor Montezuma, who was reported to have drunk more than 50 cups per day. He even served it to Cortez, a Spanish explorer.

The Spanish returned the drink to Spain and added sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and other spices. The country’s monks were tasked with processing the beans. The monks eventually spread the news across Europe.

Eating chocolate was not popularized until the middle of the 19th century. Less than 30 years later, milk chocolate was invented in Switzerland. The rest of the story can still be enjoyed as one layer of a chocolate pecan pie.
