Who doesn't like good chocolate? Here, we bring you some of Miami's finest sweet ateliers serving chocolate. But did you know that the transformation of bitter cacao seeds into a refined delicacy dates back more than three millennia to Mesoamerican civilizations, where it was first brewed as a sacred ritual beverage? Although some of that ritual has been lost, it has gained in other ways, as chocolatiers now do all kinds of things, from small-batch bean-to-bar production to fascinating flavor infusions.
