Is cacao the same thing as chocolate?

Question by QuestionGeek: Is cacao the same thing as chocolate?
I remember drinking some coffee and eating a 70% cacao candy bar a while ago. I got high as a kite. Is cacao some kind of strong chocolate?
Chocolate Lover, CACAO is how it is spelled. Don't try tp play word or language wars with me. You won't win that fight, trust me. Look it up in the dictionary. CACAO is the correct spelling.

cocoa (that is how you spell it) is a type of bean that is turned into a powder and mixed with sugar (because it is not sweet without the sugar) to give you chocolate.

Yeah, it’s the bean. Chocolate is made from cocoa.
