On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the chocolate chip cookies easy fast across from the article title. Chocolate is a food made from roasted and ground cacao seed kernels that is available as a liquid, solid, or paste, either on its own or as a flavoring agent in other foods. The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor.

After fermentation, the seeds are dried, cleaned, and roasted. With some two million children involved in the farming of cocoa in West Africa, child slavery and trafficking associated with the cocoa trade remain major concerns. Chocolate has been prepared as a drink for nearly all of its history. For example, one vessel found at an Olmec archaeological site on the Gulf Coast of Veracruz, Mexico, dates chocolate’s preparation by pre-Olmec peoples as early as 1750 BC.
