What does Chocolate mean?
/ˈtʃɔk.(ə.)lɪt/

Chocolate is made from ground, roasted cocoa beans, and the word itself likely reached English through Spanish from a Nahuatl term connected to the cacao drink prepared by the Aztecs.

Rich and a little indulgent, it's a natural pick for a pet with a deep brown coat and a sweet, affectionate nature.
