This delicious holiday was invented and first held by the French in 1995.
There is an opinion that the Aztecs were the first to learn how to make chocolate. They called it "the food of the gods." The Spanish conquistadors, who first brought it to Europe, dubbed the delicacy "black gold" and used it to strengthen physical strength and endurance.
Somewhat later, the consumption of chocolate in Europe was limited only to aristocratic circles. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, with the advent of industrial production, people who were not related to the aristocracy could enjoy chocolate. In Russia , chocolate appeared under Peter I. The story says that the king brought it from the West along with coffee.
As established by modern science, there are elements in chocolate that promote rest and psychological recovery. Dark chocolate varieties stimulate the release of endorphins — hormones of happiness that affect the pleasure center, improve mood and maintain the tone of the body.
