Step 2

Then Cadburys buy their beans and they are transported to North wales. The beans are cleaned and then are roasted by being put into a big drum that shoots hot air in to them. It is at this stage where you can start to smell the chocolate! The beans are then broken into small pieces and the old shell is blown away. You are left with the 'nibs' which are grounded down until they become a thick liquid. This liquid is called 'mass' and is the basic ingredient for Cadbury's chocolate. The cocoa butter is drained out and you are left with a brown block. The block can then be grounded down into cocoa powder.
