What material is chocolate made of? The process of making chocolate.
1 The main raw material of chocolate is cocoa beans, and other materials include cocoa butter, nuts, sugar, milk and food additives.

2. Production process: Cocoa beans need to be selected, dried, ground, heated, stirred, ripened, cooled and molded to form a perfect black chocolate. About 1 kg of cocoa beans can only extract less than 500 grams of chocolate essence, and the production process needs at least 20 steps. The production of some high-quality chocolate can take 120 hours just by stirring cocoa pulp, and the whole process is time-consuming and laborious. Then you can add cocoa butter, nuts, sugar, milk, food additives and other raw materials to make all kinds of chocolates according to your needs.
