When chocolate was discovered they consumed it in an extremely different fashion from what we think of good chocolate today. The dried beans were simply cooked with water. Later with milk. Chocolate as we know it only became a thing centuries later. (Dried milk was only invented in 1802, and you can’t make milk chocolate without that for example)
