Cuenta con nueve salas:
Las primeras salas exponen la historia del chocolate, desde la época prehispánica, su difusión durante el virreinato, así como el desarrollo que tuvo posteriormente, hasta llegar al producto que hoy en día conocemos.
En las siguientes salas se muestran diferentes utensilios ocupados para servir el chocolate en distintas épocas, así como diversos productos comercializados en otros países, a base de chocolate; como las barras de chocolate Hershey’s que les daban a los soldados en la segunda guerra mundial, Chocomilk o el casi desconocido para las generaciones actuales, Carlos V en polvo.
En otra sala se invita a descifrar a qué especias corresponden las esencias exhibidas.
Otra sala está forrada de tablillas de chocolate de mesa.
