Chocolate Bar Ingredients
Method
Chocolate Bar Preparation
- 1
Roasting Cocoa Beans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cocoa beans on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- 2
Cracking and Winnowing
Let the roasted cocoa beans cool. Once cooled, crack the shells and winnow to separate the nibs from the shells.
- 3
Melting Ingredients
In a double boiler, melt the cocoa butter over low heat. Once melted, add the cocoa nibs and stir until they are well combined and smooth.
- 4
Adding Sugar and Flavor
Add sugar, scraped seeds from the vanilla bean, and sea salt to the melted mixture. Stir continuously until fully dissolved and combined.
- 5
Tempering the Chocolate
Pour the chocolate mixture onto a marble surface. Using a spatula, spread it out and fold it over itself repeatedly to temper the chocolate. This process will take about 10-15 minutes.
- 6
Molding the Chocolate
Once tempered, pour the chocolate into chocolate bar molds. Tap the molds gently to remove any air bubbles.
- 7
Cooling
Let the chocolate bars cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until they harden completely.
