Cocoa POD to CHOCOLATE Bar -- How to Make A DIY Bean-to-Chocolate Bar at Home

It all started with a mystery box of fruit which lead me down the path of making a bar of #chocolate from a cocoa pod. 😮 So here's all the steps, including fermenting, drying, roasting, winnowing, crushing, grinding, conching, tempering, molding, and finally EATING my pod-to-chocolate bar. 😅 Big thanks to my boys, for always being game. 💕 New videos every Thursday and Saturday 8 pm EST.

For all of you that have been waiting, Thank you all for your patience. This one was a doozy...😅 What's your favorite chocolate (bar, candy, dessert, brand, etc.)?

I went to culinary school, in the baking department we did weeks of chocolate and NONE of the chef instructors or textbooks explained tempering as well as you just did. I frickin love you.

Your little boy is so precious and smart, I could’ve listened to him talk endlessly! Thank you for being such a good mom to your children.

Damn this makes me appreciate the chocolate bar alot more for its texture and taste. Must take loads of work especially for someone who had to pioneer the chocolate bar

[taylorheimbigner]

I love how you talk to your boys like you’d talk to anyone else, without a bunch of baby talk. Lol My parents spoke to me in that manner growing up and it made me feel like my parents took me much more seriously 😄

My 3 year old Clary says that she's so proud of you for making a chocolate bar.

[eugeniebakker]

I will never again conplain about the cost of chocolate and will savour the next bar. I never knew it was such a process. This was educational for sure.
