My oldest son made chocolate last week. He used a kit I purchased from the Love To Learn catalog.  This was supposed to be a project to wrap up the Chocolate Lapbook he is doing this year, but since we are in the process of moving I thought it would be better if he just did it now. (Less to take with us.) He really enjoyed himself and his siblings enjoyed the finished product.

These chocolate beans were included in the kit just so you could taste them. The chocolate was actually made with cocoa butter and cocoa powder. The beans were crunchy like nuts, with just the faintest taste of chocolate.

Here he is putting the finished chocolate into the wrappers to cool. Since the chocolate is cooked in the microwave, even a young child could complete this project.
