Learn How To Make Chocolate

By Kareechy Ken

Chocolate is consumed in every country and is enjoyed by people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Hundreds of different varieties are available to suit almost all budgets and tastes. We all buy our chocolate from a shop but you can learn how to make chocolate in your own home.

It is not a simple process and may take a number of attempts to produce a satisfactory product that matches up to shop bought chocolate. It requires time, patience, and determination.

All chocolate is created from cocoa beans. These are not always available in your town so you may need to order an amount from a specialist website. Once you have a selection, the first step is to bake them for around thirty minutes at a temperature of approximately four hundred degrees.

Once the beans have cooled down sufficiently, you should remove all their husks. After this you can begin to break up and grind the cocoa beans into a fine mixture. The longer you spend grinding the smoother the final result will be. Whilst grinding, the ground up beans should begin to liquefy.

After this you should place the mixture in a pan and heat for a couple of minutes and then once more grind the mixture. If all goes to plan you should now have in front of you a smooth substance. You can now add sugar and any flavoring that you are fond of, for example mint or vanilla. Make sure you stir the added sugar and flavoring in fully and equally to disperse the taste.

The final step is to allow the liquid chocolate to become solid. Most people choose to place the mixture into small sized containers and then leave in the fridge overnight. Once it has set you can enjoy beautiful home made chocolate. - 30241
