Chocolate figures prominently in Early American history. With a rebellion against tea and everything British, our forefathers proudly chose hot chocolate and coffee drinks as symbols of freedom. Thus began chocolate’s uniquely American journey of good taste. Soon, chocolate found its way into many recipes, including baked goods and early chocolate bars. Using cacao beans ground by the local miller, the bars were often flavored with other exotic tastes, such as chili pepper and mustard, from the spice trade. Today, MARS, Incorporated manufactures American Heritage Chocolate – an authentic Colonial Chocolate recipe, made only with ingredients available during the 17th century. American Heritage Chocolate offers a selection of authentic products from the days of our ancestors. You can read the history, order the chocolate, and even cook up some of the historic recipes, or use them in your favorite current recipe. Take a sip back in time with our new drinks: R. Charlton's Blend American Heritage Coffee and R. Charlton's Blend American Heritage Tea. It’s all here for the tasting.
