How to make chocolate from cacao bean step by step ?

First comes FERMENTATION & DRYING the beans are harvested from the pods and allowed to naturally ferment over a period of 2 days to 2 weeks,heat kills the delicate germinating seed, and natural yeasts over to develop complex flavours the Beans are then sun dried to preserve them for shipping 
 
Next , the beans are ROASTED.
Cacao beans are roasted for the same reason that coffee beans are  to develop complex flavours via the mail lard reaction and to drive off unpleasant acidic compounds developed in the fermentation process 
 
CRACKING &  WINNOWING follow roasting.
This step is purely mechanical to separate the valuable nibs from the worthless shells
 
After this the nibs must be REFINED the tongue can perceive particles large than 30 micrometer in size so extensive grinding is needed for a good mouthfeel 
 
The raw cacao liquor is then CONCHED a lengthy process which drivers off the rest of the acidic flavouring compounds
 
Finally the finished product is tempered to give the chocolate good gloss and snap
