Chocolates

Chocolate is derived from cacao beans found in cacao pods that grow on cacao trees in warm regions like Brazil and Ghana. The harvesting process involves splitting open the pods, drying the beans, and then processing them in factories to create chocolate. Various ingredients are added to the ground cacao nibs to enhance flavor before the chocolate is molded, packaged, and sold in shops.
