World Chocolate Day was founded in 2009. This day is celebrated on July 7 annually to appreciate the wonderful sweet treat that can bring a smile to people across the globe.

This day is observed on the anniversary of when chocolate was introduced to Europe in 1550. Before 1550, chocolate was only available in specific regions around the world such as South and Central America.

In 1519, the Aztec emperor presented Xocolatl, a chocolate-based drink, to the Spanish explorer, Hernan Cortes.

The explorer brought the drink to Europe and made it sweeter with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. During the 1800s, solid chocolate bars gained fandom. This led to increased popularity and consumption of chocolates in Europe.
