• First the cocoa beans have to grow
• Once they grow the cocoa beans have to be gathered together and dried in the sun and this helps to develop the flavour
•  The cocoa beans are then shifted throughout the world to make chocolate.
• When they arrive from Africa  they are blended, cleaned, and dried then the shells are broken and the nips are left behind.
• The nips are grounded into a liquid cocoa mass.
• The cocoa mass is then made into cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
• Sugar, milk and lecithin are then add and all the ingredients are combined together.
• Conching is the finally step.
• The ingredients were carefully mixed into a large tank.
• Then the chocolate can be shaped into bars, blocks or chocolate drops then it is ready to be shifted.
• The chocolate has to be heated in a process which is called tempering.
• Then it is ready to sell!!
