Chocolate factory!!!

        Waking up at 8:15, we ate breakfast and walked to.....dun,dun,dun. THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY!!! Unfortunately, we didn't get to do it yet, we just had to schedule it. So afterwards we walked around and ate food. Wait, that sounds bad. Well it's true. We ate KFC, and McDonald's. Ok, that sounds worse. You know, I've officially decided to skip the details and get to the good part. It will just be better that way. You don't want to know the details. Well you could if you really want to, but it's just best to get on. It's not bad or anything, is it? No, right? Wait, you don't know. Do you? Are you a stalker? ( Gasp. ) You're a stalker! Ok, let's move on.

         So we got to the chocolate factory and met our guide. He was really funny! He led us to this long room which smelled like chocolate. There was a stove and a long table, where we stood next to. Then we put on our aprons and started the first step to making chocolate, picking out cocoa beans. Well, we technically didn't pick them, but they were in a basket, and we were told to pick the 18 of the biggest ones.

         Once we got them we took turns roasting them in a clay pot. Taking off the shells, we placed the beans in small bowls and crushed them with a rock. You have to crush them into a fine powder. It was hard work, and everyone in the class was having problems. But I managed to get 1st place out of everyone. Granted, there was only 7 people in our group including us. But as my prize I got a chocolate lollipop thing.

          Then we made some hot chocolate by adding some honey and chili powder. Then chocolate milk by adding milk, and sugar. We spent our cocoa doing this, because making chocolate takes about a day, and we didn't want to do that. Here comes the good part. They gave us some ingredients like M&Ms, sprinkles, quinoa, Oreos, nuts, salt, and more. They had us mix and crush the combinations of our choosing, to create the mix that will go inside our chocolate. Then we got bowls of milk and dark chocolate, and molds. We put a layer of chocolate on the bottom, then our mix, and another layer on top. It was a messy but tasty process. It took me a long time because I'd eat a spoonful, and fill my mold with a spoonful. So on, so on. 

           They took our molds and told us to come back in 50 minutes. So we went to our hostel, brushed our teeth, and now we're at Starbucks. We haven't got our molds yet, but I can't wait to taste them when their done!
