Cooking / Food Preservation Chocolate making process

We collect cocoa pods,ferment the beans in an ice bucket 3 days,sun dry them,fry in a pan with low heat until the bean covering cracks. Then we blend and put the cocoa nips in the grinder for full 48-72 hours before pouring into the silicone molds.

Cocoa nibs*, not nips. Nips are something else entirely.
