Until Victorian times, chocolate was thought of as a drink. When did the first chocolate bar appear?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
No one knows for sure when the first chocolate bar appeared or even who made it, but an important event occurred in 1828. The Van Houten press was invented, which extracted cocoa butter from the bean - the same press that brought the Cadbury Brothers success with Cocoa Essence.

In 1847, Joseph Fry discovered a way to mix the ingredients of cocoa powder, sugar and cocoa to manufacture a paste with a higher percentage of cocoa butter that could then be more easily molded into a solid chocolate bar. He is generally credited with the first mass-produced bar.

Chocolate is a type of sweet that is from long ago and so there is no precise date to be shown.
