Mexico
Peru

The correct answer is Mexico
So why is this answer correct? : Chocolate can be traced to the region that is now Mexico, where cacao plants have been cultivated since at least 1900 BCE. The Olmec people are thought to have created the process of roasting and grinding the beans, then mixing the grounds with water, honey, vanilla, and chili peppers to create a bitter drink. In Maya and Aztec cultures, the benefits of chocolate were believed to be god-like. Spanish conquerors transformed the drink into the sugary substance we know today.
