Ah yes, Chocolate! The dark chocolate is extravagant and good for you. The chocolate museum was an excellent little store. We learned a bit about chocolate, then made our on concoctions. Here’s a quick list to review the steps:
- Smash and strip- We were given cacao beans in their shells to separate. (Señora, you did fairly poorly. I beat you easily.)
- Ground and Pound- We then took the beans and pulverized them into paste. There was a first prize for the fastest past. The winners are: 1. Troy, 2. Jackson, 3. Don’t remember 4. ME!
- Chug! Chug! Chug! We drank two kinds of chocolate stuff: 1. Dark, very water-like and incredibly bitter. Lots of honey was poured in this. 2. A lighter, sweeter beverage. I would have enjoyed a thicker beverage.
- Customize our Chocolate- YUM! We were given bowls of chocolate and about a dozen possible ingredients. I wanted milk-chocolate, so I added powdered milk to it. I should have added more as it is still bitter.
Overall it was an excellent, most delicious activity.
