Milk and  chocolate, the predecessor of chocolate milk, was a candy bar invented by Daniel Peter in the early Eighteen Hundreds in Vevey, Switzerland. Mr. Peter, after having invented his milk chocolate, went to work for the Nestle Company, bringing his newly invented product with him. He worked for the company until 1919. He died at the age of ninety. Swiss chocolate is still considered to be the best on the market. It was not until the Nineteen Hundreds that the marriage of milk and chocolate in the liquid form became popular.

There are many forms of chocolate milk. One of which is hot cocoa which is a cocoa powder mixed with milk and sugar and heated until hot and smooth. This mixture is used to warm people up when the weather is cold and also to help one sleep. Many people like hot coco before bedtime to help them sleep as it is a form of comfort food. There are other forms of chocolate milk that can be heated and have been used for years such as: Ovaltine which was used as a children’s drink presumably to help them grow strong. Nesquick is also a powder form of chocolate for hot chocolate
