• a number of raw and processed foods that are
  produced from the seed of the tropical cacao
  tree.
• After fermentation, the beans are dried, cleaned,
  and roasted, and the shell is removed to produce
  cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground and
  liquified, resulting in pure chocolate in fluid
  form chocolate liquor.
• Then it is cooled into the shape of the candy
  desired or mixed with other solutions to become
  drinkable.
