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?

(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!: www.escazuchocolates.com/shop-now/-c151145256

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!)

“ what’s this stuff? “ “ don’t chug it “ I love how that’s the first thing that she imagined Safiya doing

My favorite part about this series is that she always goes to local peoples place’s instead of teaming up with a super rich youtuber. I love Saf

I love that Safiya helped a Latina owned small business. Everyone seemed wonderful and like they were enjoying themselves and enjoying sharing their craft. The chocolate turned out amazing!

The fact that the whole Escazu crew seemed to spend the whole day giggling from Safiya's humor is so sweet (pun intended!)

I love how the factory feels less like, automated and more like it's someone cooking in their kitchen, it's so lovely to see the poeple behind the works.

Watching you take over random businesses for a day seems like something that should be on an actual TV network

i am so proud to see safiya not only helping a small business but a WOMEN owned LATINA business!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how sweet and patient these women were while teaching Safiya? She did a great job, those chocolates both look and sound delicious

i love how she’s supporting small businesses like it really shows how much she cares about people and their art
@lasgin99wif 7 months ago

This was such a cool video, not just for the custom chocolate part, but also to see how a local, smaller business actually makes the chocolate, starting with the beans. Especially thankful for Saf choosing a latina owned business instead of industry giants because not only were they able to show more of the process but the overall atmosphere and just behind the scenes was super fun.

This made me appreciate the chocolates so much more. I feel much better about spending more money on chocolates too, just seeing how labor intensive the process is.

I love that Safiya is helping to support these small businesses that are local to her!

They could totally use the air blast technique for white chocolate eyeballs at halloween, to do the red eye veins
