how many cocao beans does it take to make one pound of chocolate
Cocoa beans are considered renewable because they come from cacao trees, which are a perennial crop that can be replanted and harvested multiple times. The trees take a few years to mature before they start producing cacao pods, which contain the cocoa beans used to make chocolate.

It doesn’t contain chocolate’s hallmark ingredient. Some purists (and the Encyclopedia Britannica) don’t even consider it chocolate.To explain, let’s start on common ground: cocoa beans. When you dry, ferment, roast, and shell a cocoa bean, you wind up with a chocolate nib; grind that nib into a paste, and you get chocolate liquor; separate the liquor into its two components, and you get cocoa solids and cocoa butter. True chocolate contains cocoa solids; white chocolate, however, only uses the cocoa butter.Beyond cocoa butter, white chocolate contains sugar, milk products, and additional flavorings. Many true chocolates also contain these ingredients, but the cocoa solids are what give them the trademark chocolate taste.
it takes 7 years for a cocoa tree to reach ripeness enough to be made into chocolate.
It takes several, but my favorite is hot chocolate!
Tetteh Quarshie was born in 1842 . He served as an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop at Akropong belonging to the Basel Missionaries. His hobby was farming. In 1870, Tetteh Quarshie went to work on the island of Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea where, under the Spanish, cocoa, imported from South America, was grown and guarded like gold. Workers were searched before they left the island to ensure that the precious cocoa beans didn't leave with them. Tetteh Quarshie realised how this crop could help him and his family and planned a way to carry the beans to the Gold Coast (Ghana). About 1879 he returned to Ghana with several cocoa beans (the Amelonado beans), which he had swallowed. He went through the routine searches and managed to leave the island safely. Once off the island he waited for nature to take it's course and recovered the beans. He planted the seeds in Mampong, near Akropong in the Akwapim area of Ghana where he felt that the climate was suitable. The seeds took root successfully. Tetteh Quashie made history. He distributed pods to friends and relatives who undertook to plant the cocoa. They, in turn, handed seeds other farmers. Soon the planting spread to what is now the Ashanti Region and the area became the biggest cocoa producing area in the world. It was at this point that the Basel Missionaries took an interest and exported cocoa to Switzerland. The result was that the Swiss chocolate industry was born.

Cocoa butter (im not explaining how to make that) a mold sugar I am not sure I agree with that it depends what kind of chocolate bar you want a chocolate bar is rather simple to make. you need to buy chocolate from the store this can be chunks, chips, or another type of chocolate these would be found in the baking section and maybe bulk section too. as per what kind of chocolate to use it depends what you like. once you have chosen your chocolate you will need to melt it and and put it in a mold and put it in the fridge covered to set. something we have done is take white chocolate and milk chocolate melt both separately and combine them and mix just enough to make a swirl effect and put it in the mold it makes a really pretty effect on the finished chocolate bar what you need chocolate (of your choice) mold
No; that fat in the cocoa dissolves when it's mixed with milk. It would be impossible to separate after it's been mixed.
