Celeb Love m'y i know where are you forme please?

Good luck, man.

+Sydney Dwoskin Thanks--it was fun to do. And fun to see everyone's comments. Tell us how it works out for you!

Sydney Dwoskin so...?

how was ittt

Absolutely amazing :)

I slammed a FAT ball 'o' fudge(maybe two or three times the size of a golf ball) of raw organic cacao powder with a bunch of other ingredients. My heart is now POUNDING like I'm in the middle of having sex or something...what the HELL did I do to myself?

Thanks--So glad you enjoyed!

Did you have to tell your life story.

@@loganplayzroblox2622 LOL. Yeah, because I was a fun kid back then. Do you want an update? clue: I don't find meaning to life anymore.

@jane. So cool that you got to do this growing up. My grandparents no longer had their estate by the time I was born, and then my granddad only had a few trees. His dad died young so him mother never even made chocolate because she was busy raising kids. I tried making with my granddad as a teen only to realise he had no clue. I since have been able to make a better rbatch than with him. But hoping to perfect the recipe. Any suggestions on how to make a good drinking chocolate since you are an expert since childhood. And yes it is. A dream for some of us😂😂

I need a grinder like this🙏🏼

Wow coals under the metate!!!!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

So, what happened?

Just mix in milk and you'll have milk chocolate.

I've had such incredible experiences and have learned so much from my Nicaraguan friends. I hope to give back a little by sharing what I have learned. thanks for watching!

So do you winnow the shells off, or do you leave them in? I always thought they were kind of crunchy when I had missed some. I've seen the seeds crushed with the shells and then winnowed off with airflow--I guess I just never did this because I some across so many beans that have bugs or fungus inside that I figure I have a better chance of removing them. It's probably mostly psychological, though. Cheers!

Hi Ms. Merlita, I had tried boiling ground cacao beans, but it seems like no oil was produced. How long does i takes to produced oil from boiling ground cacao? It just turned like paste texture.

What kind of grinder ????

You are welcome!

+scyther1 I don't bite into hershey bars. I skip the middleman and throw them directly into the trash can. Unless I'm making s'mores. Only then do I approve of the mixed application of hershey bars. Marshmallows are so nasty that even Hershey's can make them better, and I wouldn't dare ruin a good chocolate with marshmallows.

+astrojeff haha ill keep that in mind. great video btw

+scyther1 Hershey is a horrible terrible thing...it has nothing to do with real chocolate.

the bugs is that like chocolate covered crickets lol.😊

+Jorge Meza I'm so going to do some thanks for that awesome video and God bless .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun making chocolate!

astrojeff could this work with making hot chocolate tablet's?

It's fun to make foods from scratch, even if it's more work than buying it processed for you!

I know it's waaayy too late for this, but for anyone who needs this, you can also use a food processor if you have one. The taste won't be as great as the other method, but still good.

I think you jinxed me! Oh well, it was bound to happen. Some people just are not tolerant of home made chocolate and other alternative lifestyles.

Gisyerg Bermudez - HAHAHAHAHA

You can buy the raw beans off eBay...in 1 pounds lots.

Thanks!!!!

I have plenty here let's do business 233541684503

Thanks!

Already been on mine....now I have instructions as to HOW...

period

+Diana Yunuhen Gómez It does get smoother with each pass, but I see what you're getting at! We like to add cinnamon and chile--yum!

Thanks for the advice. Glad you liked the video. Cheers!

Anything for good chocolate. The flavor is like nothing that you can buy in a store.

Amonkai Boss... is that you??

hi. I live in the Caribbean. can you share anything else? I want to make my own chocolate. so doing research. Can't believe this guy, gave the whole process 💙

Good luck and tell me how it works out for you! So glad you enjoyed!

+Wolfgang Icarus Definitely looks like Bruce Campbell, just without all the... loudness of Campbell

Haaaaaaaaaa i couldn't put my finger on it til i saw your comment

+Wolfgang Icarus Yep. Just a "little tiny bit different"

Omg! Thanks so much he does. Lol

his eyebrow can beat bruce campbell easily

cpisolution oracle,bigdataandai India has all types of food lol.. all about business there..

+flexor212000 Thank you--I've been working on them for nearly four decades now.

Rude!😒

It's OK--we've got to celebrate ourselves, our bodies, and all of our wonderful diversity!

Isabelle Zuniga I am pretty sure that was a genuine compliment, his hair and eyebrows ARE pretty dank

it compliments his fun personality

Thanks for letting me know! It makes amazing hot chocolate, doesn't it?

no way. Good things are made by hand and take their time!

Perla11 Ba this is the traditional way to do it....it's done in the Caribbean this way for generations but no sugar is added at this stage. It's ground only about 5 times, enough that it can be molded and spices like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, added the end process is molded into balls or logs, it hardens and is grated and added to hot water with coconut milk, vanilla, optional turmeric, black pepper, ginger and a sweetener and drink as cacao tea as breakfast staple or just before bed.......

@@twinkitten1 when you harden into logs where do you keep it? Is it shelf stable at that point or needs refrigeration?

Kimberly Mayo you can keep it in the fridge indefinitely........I have noticed if you keep it your cupboards here, because its hot year round it can get little bugs, weebles/beetles which tend eat away at it ....

You know the tradition...and it is delicious and healthy

Thanks! I put this video together rather hastily, but thanks for the input! Next time...

astrojeff Still, a WONDERFUL video. Cheers =)

I agree! :-) Really wanted both of your opinions about the product.

I wish I could go back and film it again! We actually had a bunch of people over, and we all loved it! You're right, I should have shown us all eating it!

astrojeff That actually does sound deliciously fun--a gastronomic treat for the tummy and the soul ;) However, it's always wonderful to be in the moment--so I'm glad you and your loved ones had a chance to enjoy it without worrying about the camera and us, your audience. Too many of us are so consumed with our cameras and social media nowadays. It's refreshing and a huge positive in my book, that it's not a knee-jerk reaction for you. Still, there are times when filming and posting is not only appropriate, it's fun for all involved. Perhaps one of the next times you make something special, and especially if you share it with guests, you'll extend the pleasure of that experience to those of us sitting at your table through the online ether =)

Cheers!
