National Chocolate Day is Friday, which is good timing to kick off Halloween weekend.
Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma tree. Humans have been cultivating cacao for at least three millennia. The plant grows in Mexico, Central America and Northern South America. Historians document the earliest known use of cacao seeds at around 1100 BC.
Falcon News interviewed students about their chocolate preferences.
