How we make chocolate

Chocolate has been made since ancient times.

First a white flower of the cacao tree gets pollinated by a insect called a midge.Next a fruit pod grows for 6 months.When the pod is ripe you open it and get the cacao seeds from inside the pod. Then you leave the seeds in a box to ferment for a few weeks.After that you put them in the sun for around 3 weeks.After 3 weeks roast the seeds for 30 mins.Next ground the seeds until the seeds are just a powder.Add sugar to the powder .Then you melt the grounded chocolate and you stir. Finally spoon it into a mould and put it in the fridge to set.

That is  how you make chocolate.
