I am 60, I am #Vegan, and I just learned how to make chocolate from scratch.

This has been kept from us. It is eye-blinkingly easy. The effort : reward ratio is beyond what you can imagine, because everything you can imagine starts and ends with chocolate.

Nestlé, Hershey, Mars you motherfuckers, now I know Kung Fu.

Edit: Adding the recipe I started with. Sorry I didn’t put it here in the first place, we learn. https://www.asaucykitchen.com/homemade-chocolate-with-cocoa-butter/#mv-create-recipe

Often thought about looking into this and never got round to it, so thank you very much indeed! Super appreciated. 😊

@TheBreadmonkey @goodthinking what I have learned from this is that chocolate is made by taking cocoa beans apart and then putting them back together again in a slightly different ratio

@afewbugs @goodthinking

HAHAHAHA. Yes - thank you for carefully scientifically taking apart the constituent components of this bean......now watch me SMASH IT BACK TOGETHER with some sugar.

Hey I get to use this quote twice this week ;)

Just a case of reassembling the component parts in the correct sequence ;)

Dr Chocolate not nearly as powerful as Dr Manhattan though :D
