The word for chocolate in Spanish is chocolate.
This similarity is due to the fact that both English and Spanish have borrowed the term from the Nahuatl word chocolātl, which was used by the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures to describe the bitter drink made from cacao beans. In Spanish-speaking countries, the word is used not only to refer to the drink but also to the sweet treat we enjoy today, made from cocoa solids, sugar, and often milk.
So, next time you’re in a Spanish-speaking country, whether you’re ordering a bar of chocolate or a hot chocolate, just ask for chocolate!
