Chocolate Fever

Pretend that a family member or friend has never heard of chocolate.  Your job is to teach them about it.  Where does it come from, how is it made into a form that we can eat, can it be used for anything other than just eating?  You will be doing some research to make a presentation about chocolate facts. Recipes will be published on the class wiki for your family and friends to enjoy.
