"Cacao" is the raw bean from which "cocoa" (a processed product from the cacao bean) comes.
Drying or roasting, then grinding and seperating the products from the cacao bean gives us cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and other cocoa products. These can be made into chocolcates of various kinds.
Cacao is the bean, cocoa is the product from it.
