At MARS, Incorporated, we live and breathe chocolate. We have an impressive history of our own, manufacturing the highest quality American chocolate confections for almost 100 years. But when we researched chocolate’s colorful history, we weren’t satisfied. It seemed there was so much more to the story, more facts to uncover.

That’s why, in 2006, we established The Historic Division of MARS, Incorporated and the Chocolate History Group, to uncover chocolate’s rich history and share it with consumers. Teaming with food researchers, chefs, and historians from universities and living history museums, we sought to develop the most accurate report yet on chocolate’s history, uses and origins. In fact, our team discovered references to chocolate dating back 60 years earlier than previously recorded. This new body of research and knowledge has enabled American Heritage Chocolate to recreate historically authentic chocolate products and recipes and make them available to the public.

Our new book, Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage is a must-read for anyone interested in the true history and journey of mankind’s favorite delight. For a preview of our book, have a look at the Section Introductions and Chapter Overviews, drawn from this comprehensive text.

Never before has education tasted so good.
