A chocolatier is someone who makes confectionery from chocolate. Chocolatiers are distinct from chocolate makers, who create chocolate from cacao beans and other ingredients.
The Nahuatl term, chicolatl, meaning beaten drink, may derive from the word for the frothing stick, chicoli. The term chocolate chip was first used in 1940. The term chocolatier, for a chocolate confection maker, is attested from 1888.
