There were foods which could be considered desserts by modern standards like chocolate, but they were consumed and used differently. With the introduction of Europeans and their food and culture to the region came sugar and with it, sweets. The range of desserts evolved and grew over time to include everything from churros to rice pudding, from cakes to fruit treats. Some of the desserts which historically are made in Mexico are fairly easy to make and can be produced in high quantity.<sup id="cite_ref-96" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-96"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>96<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chocolate">Chocolate</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mexican_cuisine&amp;action=edit&amp;section=23" title="Edit section: Chocolate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg/225px-Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg" decoding="async" width="225" height="300" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg/338px-Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg/450px-Chocolate_Mexicano_Discs.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2448" data-file-height="3264" /></a><figcaption>Mexican chocolate discs</figcaption></figure> <p>Chocolate consumption pre-European influence was drunk in a warm syrupy form mixed with honey.
