Mars makes 18th-century chocolatePosted May 12th 2006 4:33PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Chocolate, Newspapers, On the Blogs, The History of..., AmericaHistory buffs with a sweet tooth can now get an idea of what chocolate tasted like to American colonists. American Heritage Chocolate, made by Mars, aims to recreate the chocolate of yore by using centuries-old methods and recipes. Stone ground cocoa beans result in a grittier chocolate infused with spices such as cinnamon, anise, nutmeg, red pepper, orange and vanilla. The chocolate comes in bars, sticks and a drink mix. As is fitting for a historical chocolate, American Heritage is available only at Fort Ticonderoga, Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Mount Vernon and The Smithsonian.
