Does Chocolate Grow On Trees?

http://www.fieldmuseum.org/Chocolate/kids_facts.html

One fun book I like to read to students is "Monroe's Island", a story about where a child's imagination takes him far away. He and his imagination go to a place where chocolate chip cookies grow on trees.  I bring along cookies to tie into the lesson, telling the children I picked them off the chocolate chip cookie tree in my backyard.  When we sort it out, we discuss that I really don't have a chocolate chip cookie tree, but chocolate really grow on trees.  This is another great opportunity to discuss where the other ingredients come from.
