Mexican Candy

There are very few countries that can claim an assortment of candies as broad and delicious as Mexico's. Mexican “sweets” (they aren't actually all sweet) come in a variety of surprising textures and exquisite flavors. Traditional Mexican candies and sweets, in general, have a long timeline in Mexican culture—making them an even more integral and valuable part of the nation's heritage.

Something you may not realize is that chocolate actually originated in Mexico. The Aztec people believed that the cacao plant was a gift from the tree of life, given to them by the god Quetzalcoatl. They used the bean as currency. They also made a drink out of it; however, they used spices instead of the sugar Europeans would use to make hot chocolate. The Aztecs mixed in different spices, such as chili peppers, to give the bitter bean mixture some flavor. Mexican chocolate to this day still contains a variety of spices. It is also often used as an ingredient in other dishes, rather than being consumed on its own.
