Chocolate is made from the seed of "Theobroma Cacao" tree .

The Cacao has been cultivated in 'Mexico', 'Central America' and 'Northern South America'.The seeds of Cacao have a bitter taste and need to be  fermented to get the flavor.  Once the seeds are fermented,they are dried,cleaned and roasted.The shell is removed to get the chocolate nibs.

These nibs are ground to cocoa mass, which is rough form of chocolate. The rough chocolate needs to be liquefied . The liquid is called chocolate liquor.This liquid is molded to form the chocolate.

The benefits of eating chocolate are that it reduces the risk of cancer , lowers blood pressure and prevents coughing and heart diseases. 

Harms of chocolate are that it may cause obesity, headache,acne and tooth decay. 
So my dear children eat chocolate, but in moderation.As we all know excess of everything is bad .
