MimiArt7348: All I know is they dried them cocoa seeds under sun for some time. I remember the smell, not a pleasant one all I can say


Have you tried sugar cane juice + coconut water?


I have seen the Cocoa pods open and they look slimy and not appetizing at all but I used to bite the cocoa beans just recently being roasted and they are bitter, very bitter. My Mother used to make the chocolate with the roasted and peeled cocoa beans with not much sugar, less than most people would use.Normally it goes 1:1.5 or even 1:2 cocoa beans:sugar (too much sugar)

Regarding to the origen of chocolate, ancient people were doing wine with the pods and discharging the beans but then someone find a way to make chocolate (3,000 + years ago) In some places around here the chocolate beverage is made in just water, boiling water.

Sugar cane + coconut water I have not tried but I do like coconut water and I like the embryo that forms in some mature coconuts at their first stages.

I have no idea what you said on another thread. But if that was your opinion...it's all good. As long as it wasn't spiteful.

Now, back to the subject at hand. Sometimes when I can't sleep at night, I have a warm cup of milk....with lot's of chocolate syrup! Caffeine be dammed.peace

sergio09: I am sitting here enjoying the threads and enjoying my Russell Stover sugar free chocolate covered coconut candy. And whist I have gotten accustomed to this quality of chocolate, I realize how much I miss the great chocolate that I encountered while living in Europe..

Hersey's is considered "The Great American Chocolate Bar"...tastes like GA clay to me.

What is your country's best chocolate candy?


For America, I have to settle for Lindt Intense Orange Dark.

In France, there are many choices everywhere. Not just name brands, and you can't go wrong. Many times the small towns have a chocolaterie. Here's my favorite, Colas, just west of Paris.

Look at the pics and drool. They do incredible sculptures too, to order.
Eat it today, wear it tomorrow.
