1. These two steps are the only ones that I have no part in, but I thought I'd include them in the process for full transparency.To begin the process of making chocolate the first step is to open the cacao pod. When doing this at home I find it easiest to hit the shell with something like a wooden muddler or hammer, if you have one.Once you cut open the cacao pods, you'll see the cacao beans, which are covered in a viscous white 'mucilage' coating:The white jelly pulp/coating is actually edible too. Traditionally it's eaten as-is or blended with water into a juice 'cacao juice'. The flavor is sweet-tart/acidic and has similarities with soursop.The hard bean inside is the cacao bean. At this point, we have yet to ferment or roast is so it's fairly 'wet' looking with a purple color and brain-like appearance when you cut into it due to all the individual nibs inside.
2. I lined a large bowl with banana leaves then filled it with the beans, topping it with a layer of banana leaves.
3. Place the beans in a single layer across the dehydrator trays, leaving space between the beans for airflow.
4. Before roasting the beans, you'll first need to remove any beans that are broken and/or smell moldy, etc. Then, lay the beans in a single layer on parchment-lined oven tray/s. You can roast the beans whole then peel them or peel them first before roasting.If you peel the husk first then you can break the bean into the nibs and have more surface area while roasting. That way they roast faster and more evenly. However, it is much easier to peel them after roasting so the preference is up to you.

1. Place 2 chocolate bar silicone molds on a flat board or plate. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper between the mold and the plate. This prevents the silicone mold from sticking to the plate when you freeze the bar later in the recipe. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, under medium heat, melt the cocoa butter.
3. When fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in stevia drops, powdered sweetener (not crystal! you don't want bits in your chocolate), and salt.
4. Return to medium heat until cocoa butter slightly boils and reaches 250°F (121°C), it's the temperature at which the erythritol will dissolve and prevents a gritty texture in your chocolate.
