All borderline. Real chocolate comes from Mexico and a few points south
of it.

The best chocolate in the world comes from South America. That is what
European candy makers use.

That's the raw material, not the candy. Molé sauce is a great invention.

Chocolate comes from the cocoa tree. The seeds in the pod are sun dried,
roasted, and their peel is removed. Then a large type of rolling wheel
extracts the cocoa butter, and what is left is cocoa powder. When
remixed, the product is now called chocolate.

So chocolate is not the raw product. Cocoa seeds are.

Africa is the major producer today. Brazil, probably second. If I'm not
mistaken, Ivory Coast is a big producer of cacao.

Actually the cacao tree grows in Central and South America but precious little
chocolate is produced there and what little is produced there isn't very good
eating chocolate.... the vast majority of cacao is exported for chocolate
production.
