D., chocolate was a cornerstone of daily life. It was currency, a ritual ingredient, and a pleasurable drink. And it is this ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that led to the creation of Che'il Mayan Chocolate's latest chocolate bar - the traveller's snack bar - his take on candy bar with filling - think Snickers or Mars- but this is healthier, more delicious and it is locally made.

The Maya people were truly an incredible society; complex mathematical system, accurate astrology, a sacred detailed calendar, and apparently, they were pretty fab cooks as well!
