Making Chocolate – from Bean to Bar

September 20th, 2010 by Chocaholic

I’m off to New York in December and just found that New York is Number 7 on the top 10 chocolate destinations. The post recommends Jacques Torres as a must see in New York so thought I’d look it up.

Jacques got a great video showing the process he goes through to make his bean to bar chocolate. The shop doesn’t deliver to the UK though so I’ll have to wait until December to try it!

Check the video out below.
