Introducing American Heritage Chocolates

Chocolate was a military ration during the American Revolutionary War. George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin all drank chocolate. Chocolate was a common food desired by soldiers and civilians alike during the period of the American Revolution and was drunk as a medicine during the Lewis and Clark Expedition. You become part of history, too, by consuming this chocolate of yesteryear, whether as cocoa in a 17th-18th century hot chocolate drink, nibbling on the sticks, or grating one of the bars and using the flakes to flavor your favorite cake or ice cream. You keep the heritage alive by sharing a part of American history with your family.
