The drink was not very sweet and they named it Cacahulat or “ bitter water”. Some people said that the King drank 50 cups of Cacahulat a day. Once Herman Cortes came to Mexico and the King served him with Cacahulat. Herman took cocoa to Spain. But nobody liked it. Someone added hot water and sugar to the drink and it became popular. In 1700s there were many chocolate shops in cities of Europe. But it was very expensive. In 1800s a doctor in England added milk instead of water and children began to drink hot chocolate. Then Conrad van Houten made cocoa butter and cocoa powder and in 1828 the first solid chocolate bar was made.
