Can’t wait to make my own chocolate 😆

I’d like to hear how this goes… I’m a chocolate fiend. I’ve never considered making it myself.

@bps Ive watched a few vids to familiarise myself, and the main steps are essentially fermentation, drying, grinding, adding sugar (cuz the beans already contain some cocoa butter) and then pouring them into moulds and let them solidify

@bps I ended up over roasting the beans 😭 and when the ready chocolate came out it had an incredibly deep smokey flavour and slightly burnt. But that’s ok imo, Im gonna try a few more times in the future to get the proper hang of it
