I Ran A Chocolate Factory For A Day

HELLO FRIENDS!! I’ve always dreamed of having an opportunity to enter my Willy Wonka era, and now it’s finally here. I was ~somehow~ entrusted to take over the Escazu Chocolate factory in Raleigh, NC for a day, and you can definitely say I made the most of it. We followed the entire chocolate-making process - from bean to bar - and made two different custom chocolate creations together - a beautiful ombre bar & a marbled galaxy chocolate confection! What do you guys think of our final products? Do I have a future as a chocolate maker? If you would like to enter the chocolate bar giveaway to win one of these cute lil guys, the Google Form is right here: (Please note that we are unable to send chocolate internationally or to P.O. boxes for this giveaway. Also, due to the ~temperamental~ nature of the chocolate, we will be sending the chocolate out in the early Fall to avoid any melting catastrophes!) And a big thank you goes out to the amazing team at Escazu for helping us out with this video; make sure to check out our creations on their website here - available for purchase!: You can also find the chocolate in person at their store in Raleigh here: 936 N Blount St, Raleigh, NC 27604 (this video is NOT sponsored and we are not receiving any portion of Escazu’s sales - they are just a cool small business we love!)
