How to Make Your Own Chocolate | Bon Appétit
Video Overview & Insights
Flavor scientist Arielle Johnson demonstrates how to take raw cocoa beans and process them into delicious chocolate in your own kitchen, explaining each step of the way in comprehensive detail.
Funny how they conveniently glaze over the portion where she messed up and smashed the shells with the nibs.

At which step you add the sugar, butter, milk, and other material if you want to make the milk chocolate?
@afifahnurilaini7107I would have preferred to listen to you only, and not the background pipe muzac, which completely put me off.
@gracecotton9819Dont forget to not OVER CONCH the chocolate... You loose the flavors, thats why single origin chocolates are best, cause different beans need to different times to conch...
@Lord_Ivoundy_CreoodAt the beginning i was like "i´m totally gonna do this by myself", but then 6:21 happened
@moviemaenDo you have links for the equipment used like the melangeur?

@peachiepoopsie9598The last thing you need is more food.
@jimmywells33Heck yeah, I want some
@russellcrawford4809For drying, is it air dried, or heat dried?
@Commander_CommandoIt was practically magical how after hitting the beans with a hammer she got a big mess of nibs+husk and in the next scene all husk was completely gone.
@CacaoRushShalom !
