How chocolate is made

Chocolate  is made by one little flower.The flower get pollinated by a small insect called a midge. Fruit pods start to grow and it takes 6 months.The pods have to be cut by hand.When you open the pods and you will see cacao beans.The cacao beans go into a small box and they are left to ferment. Then they are put into a bigger box to dry in the sun.
Then the seeds are roasterd for 3 hours. The seeds are grounded with sugar into cocoa powder.
The powder is melted to chocolate on the heat. Then the choclate in put into moulds.
Now you have chocolate
