have you ever made chocolate before, from the bean and everything?

Answer 1

yes in oaxaca they sell the cocoa beans in kilos (2.2pounds) Use one kilo cocoa beans, wash them really good, in a clay griddle toast them until they start popping or cracking a little, then you peel the bean and the inside is the cocoa, over ther they have this grinding machine (you could use a coffee bean grinder) grind the beans by themselves first and then you grind it again adding sugar, 2 kilos sugar for every one cocoa beans, toasted almonds and cinnamon. about a handful of almonds and about two sticks of cinamon. and that is how you make your very own chocolate.

Answer 2

Yes and I made little chocolate bunnies for easter with it
