Boston 'Bakers Chocolate' craeted in the 1700's was certainlany not used for baking that was just the owner's last name and is now owned by Kraft I believe.Even brownies weren't created until the 1890's and a chocolate cake only in the 20th century perhaps as late as post WWII in the U.S. and although it was called 'German Chocolate Cake' it appears that cake is connected to Bakers Chocolate bought in Texas to make the cake only a diivision of Baker's Chocolate was called German chocolate after an executive employee of Bakers whose last name happened to be German.
As to the very brief history of chocolate honey bars in and around Bostonb this is idea or intellectual property theft first by an Israeli woman named Kristina Coravos and quickly two more called Apthekers and promotedby by a Jewish Zionist woman related to agromist William Paddock who coincidentally I corresponded with in the 1970's never imagining I'd have the Jewish women of his family stalking and attacking me in Antigua Guatemala at first for no reason I could imagine - not knowing at first that they
were brainwashed by their own Jewish Zionist upbringing. I believe the Boston based Pure 7 Chocolate
honey ripoff of my and partner and Guatemala's honey cacao invention and thus of Guiatemala and its cacao growers as well also has a Jewish(Zionist)connection but nonetheless think about it. For centuries no one was making honey cacao bars in the world then in 2005 we at Tostaduria Antigua where we had been roasting coffee since 1993 did in 2005.I believe we may be about the first in the world to roast both coffee and cacao as well.
Anyway as you can see below the first brief vmention by someone else of our cacao honey was in 2006 and another in 2008 that goes into a bit more detail of our cacao honey bars.
Israeli Katrina was one of the most disgusting and theiving of all people I ever met and even brought a drunk British or Australian into the store to harrass me.

Tostaduria Antigua Cacao-Honey Bars: Reviews by Real People,Thanks For Your Reviews Shel Horowitz and Lindsey McDonald
The reviews below of our natural honey-cacao bars are from Shel Horowitz and Lindsey McDonald.Shel Horowitz's review is excerpted from a larger blog post on Guatemala and Antigua in general from around 2006 I believe.I say that because at the time I and Ishmael of Chocotenengo, which I'm sorry to say is no here because Ismael used to send people to me for cacao beans or even to taste our natural cacao,he being such an open soul,unlike the dog eat dog 'chocolatiers who have now moved in since.As Horowitz pretty much documents,at that time,Chocotenengo and Tostaduria Antiguas were the only chocolate acts in town at the time. Even some tourist websites act like the 'traditional chocolate' makers of San Juan Del Obispo have been there for centuries which is not true at all.They arrived only a few years ago from Mixco near Guatemala City probably both to escape the encroaching urban madness of Guatemala City as well as to try and take advantage of Antigua G as a tourist center.Generally there 'traditional' chocolate is just like that of the City of Oaxaca in Mexico,doing a basic roasting and grindiing of cacao beans brought up from the hot humid lowlands of Guatemala.But they put gobs of coarse sugar in their product,too coarse to make an edible bar and made only with the purpose of making a sugary chocolate drink.I have no idea we we were the first to simply use honey that is both excellent for a simple nutritious edible natural chocolate or cacao bar,as well as quite adaptable to making a chocolate honey drink when melted in water or milk,etc.,as well.Further it is interesting to note that although Shel Horowitz shows eclectic taste buds and open minded adventurism he doesn't mention or didn't take time time to ask us why our chocolate was different or we would have told him about unprocessed cacao lighltly roasted and ground and that since 2005 ,we have been the only 100% cacao honey makers in the whole wide world.We don't copy other people.Also the 'traditional' cacao or chocolate makers of both Guatemala as well as Oaxaca,Mexico do about the same thing we do with cacao EXCEPT for the 'small' details of never having used local honey in their product in all these centuries,particularly to make edible bars, and using sugar as much to dilute the more expensive cacao to economize onproduction of their product.And even then the sugar is ALWAYS a very coarse grind not all all conducive to making an edible bar out of.If they had only just added honey,(again too expensive a splurge I guess),they could have had, in my opinion, a product to blow away the phony 'chocolatiers' of the U.S. or Belgium and Europe and certainly the amateurs who appeared here recently because they aren't good enough to compete in the processed chocolate candy bar market in their own respective countries.
I decided to post these real reviews by real people as an alternative to other chocolate candy bar makers here,particularly Chocomuseo, who always manage to get their rave endorsements from anonymous individuals for some reason and in such quantity that one wonders if they are posting those anonymous rave reviews themselves.

But the chocolate shop I preferred was Tostaduria Antigua, Sixth Street West at Seventh Avenue South, an amazing little coffee bean shop that also sold very dark, rough artisenal chocolates as well as whole cacao beans. Owned and operated by an intense Norteamericano from Texas, this shop offered something very close to a pure chocolate experience. It's not for everyone, but I was utterly thrilled..........

I Found the Golden Ticket: A Guatemalan Chocolate Experience!
While in Guatemala, I learned that not only is Guatemala famous for its delicious coffee, but also its chocolate! Apparently, the Mayans had many uses for the cocoa bean from medicinal to food, and invented many various ways of cooking and flavoring it. Having heard this, I decided I needed to try some of this Guatemalan chocolate and maybe find a way to even buy some before I left.One of our last nights in Antigua, Traci and I went to an internet cafe. As I was waiting for her to finish up what she was working on, I began reading all the brochures and advertisements on the walls inside the cafe and even made my way outside to see if there was anything interesting posted out there. At first glance there didn't seem to be anything out there, but looking again, I noticed something in the shadows. There was a small white sheet of paper with black ink on it. If it had been a different circumstance, I probably would have passed it by, but bored and curious I began to read what it said. Much to my surprise and excitement it was an advertisement for a Guatemalan chocolate store. I admit that I was skeptical due to the poor advertising which did not even mention the name of the store or the address, but I wrote down the two streets it claimed to corner and the name of the cafe it said was across the street, and hoped it was a legit place that still existed.Arriving at the hostel later, I was excited to tell Jenn about my new discovery. We had been talking about Central American chocolate ever since we heard about a chocolate factory in Costa Rica, and had a cocoa tree outside of our house when we were staying in Bamboo. I also knew I could depend on her to go on a quest for this chocolate store or place whatever it was. So we planned to scope it out our next free afternoon and much to my surprise even with the minimal amount of details I had about the place most everyone else wanted to come along as well.The following Monday afternoon, nine of us ventured out on a quest for what we hoped would be a cute little chocolate store with a variety of chocolate. I'll admit I was imagining the store in the movie Chocolat: bright colored walls, organized and mouth-watering display cases, and good looking, friendly people. What we finally walked into though, at first to ask directions for a seventh time but eventually with some disappointment realized that we had reached our destination; was a dark store, with cluttered counter tops and walls, and an eccentric, middle aged, American man behind the counter. The only way I recognized it as the place was because it was across the street from the cafe and there were cocoa and coffee beans on the counter along with a few other bagged items that looked like they could be chocolate.Sadly, I don't remember the man's name, but during the short time we were there he expressed to us his passion for and faith in the cocoa bean, his hatred for President Bush and capitalism, and he told us about his website which has nothing to do with chocolate but seems to be more of a collection of his thoughts and theories on America and history, etc. Sorry, I don't remember the web address to share. It was obvious the guy loved to hear himself talk though and when he mentioned he was born in Texas I quickly blurted out that I was from Texas. This led him to announce that he had once written a poem about Texas, and he began to enthusiastically recite it for us. "Remember the Alamo!" he exclaimed, and that is all I remember of it. He was reciting it so quickly and it got to the point where it was awkwardly long, especially since he had another customer outside of our group waiting for him to ground up some coffee beans.As I watched him reciting what became a never ending poem, I kept picturing Gene Wilder inWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and began hoping that Oompa Loompas would appear from behind the counter and join in his recitation. Finally, he concluded but not without first informing us that the poem is originally one hundred pages long. I couldn't help but be intrigued by this man. What had inspired him to write a hundred page poem about Texas? Where had his passion for the cocoa bean come from and what brought him to Antigua, Guatemala? Sadly, I never asked him these questions. I am thankful for whoever taught him to make chocolate and instilled in him a passion for the cocoa bean, though, because he definitely makes some delicious chocolate. Even without being beautifully displayed, the chocolate still managed to be pretty darn good.One of the biggest hits amongst our group was the mix of unsweetened cocoa, honey, cinnamon, and chili powder. In all honesty, it looked like poop in a bag, but tasted so good. The only way I can think to describe it is a chocolate covered red hot or hot tamale, but even better. In all of his creations he only used honey to sweeten the chocolate. It was solely pure cocoa and honey. Many claimed it was bitter and decided they didn't like it, but I loved it. Most of the Guatemalan chocolate I have come across is definitely more bitter than sweet, but I think our group decided that if you like coffee than you will like Guatemalan chocolate.The next morning, I made Jenn return with me to get a few more things. When we arrived at the shop one of the doors was open so we walked in, but we didn't see anybody. Uncertain of what to do we walked back out deciding that we would yell "Hello!" and walk in again. After a couple of "hellos" the man shot up from behind the counter looking flustered and surprising us. Maybe we had woken him up I'm not sure. As we contained our laughter, I quickly picked out what I wanted and after a few awkward moments and a random conversation we said our final good-bye and thank you to our eccentric Willy Wonka friend.If anyone loves making businesses look good and enjoys marketing, I know a place that has a lot of potential and needs a lot of help in Guatemala. Or if you ever happen to take a trip out to Antigua, Guatemala I would recommend you stop by and visit the corner chocolate store across the street from the Rainbow Cafe. Even if you don't care about chocolate, you should stop in and visit. You might get a chance to hear a recitation, and if your lucky enough maybe it will be the poem about Texas.

I love chocolate with chili pepper. I don't think I've had chocolate sweetened with honey but I think I would love it. Actually chocolate with just about anything is usually better than anything without chocolate.
Im smiling that you knew Jenn would go on this adventure and then nine of you set out on the search. What a great group of kindred souls.
Hugs to all!

Lindsey. Great story! It's hard to believe you'll be home soon. I can't wait to see you! I pray God will bless the remainder of the trip for you and all the World Racers.
Love, Dad3 Posted by Janice Hall on 7/7/2008 4:03:52 PM
Lindsey, I enjoy your stories so much!!! I have laughed and I have cried (most of all laughed). I never knew you were such a prolific writer. When you get home I will miss reading your blog from far away places, it always makes my day. If you can get some of that chocolate through customs, you know who is a chocolataholic (and it is not Uncle Charlie). Can't wait to hear your stories in person with all of your mannerisms to go along with them. xoxoAuntJanice4 Posted by corrie portier on 7/7/2008 10:53:40 PM
Lindsey,
You're so good at retelling your experiences. I've loved reading your blog, just thought I'd let you know.

I am here in Antigua now and just met your friend. I thought to have a look at what he had written and found some things and this blog. My experience was just like yours, the guys was nutty and full of life and conspiracy about the USA but alas he talked so fast I couldn't keep up.
His name is Tony Ryals and here are some of his postings:

Glad you loved your Antigua experience, ours was every bit as wonderful and wander-full. Best too all.6 Posted by jenn me again on 7/10/2008 9:09:54 PM
Yes it is willy wonka and that was fun!!!7 Posted by Vanessa Williams on 7/20/2008 6:12:04 PM
Great story Lindsey-I'm almost caught up with your journal now.8 Posted by Tony Ryals on 5/27/2011 4:58:52 PM
Hi Lindsey,
Just surfing through and thought I'd say hello.I believe of anyone who has written about our chocolate you are about the only one to catch on to the fact that honey besides the fact the cacao is totally unprocessed,a la the Kuna of Panama who consume quantities of unprocessed cacao,is the
outstanding thing we do with chocolate that no one else does.
I hope you are doing well because you haven't blogged at least here on your site for some time.The rhyme I was reciting was 'Remember the Alamo',by the way, which is on the goodtimebob.com website.However many are on malta.indymedia such as 'The Pope's Misconceptions about conception and science history',of which the non rhyming version was published in the student Berkeley Daily Californian around the time the pope visited SF in 1987.
(I'm the only person to have written that area of science, religion and western history.My father died while attending mass at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church when I was five years old by the way but that's not why I wrote it.I wrote it cause it was true.)
If you google 'psycomolecular code' or 'organic inorganic coevolution' my rhymes should be easy to find.
But as a poster pointed out above I have given the US SEC a piece of my mind as well.Hee Hee
And I'm still posting about 9/11 and stock fraud.
Tony
