How much is that?
Use & preparation
- The chocolate drops are the perfect size for baking.
- Try this recipe for almond slices with dark chocolate or enjoy your own chocolate-hazelnut spread for breakfast.
- The best way to melt chocolate is in a bain-marie. To do this, place a heatproof bowl with the chocolate drops over hot (not boiling) water and stir until they have melted. Alternatively, you can carefully pour the hot water directly over the chocolate and then pour it away again as soon as the drops have melted.

AFI REBECCA ELEBLU
FARMER FROM ATIKOUTONYI, TOGO
The most fascinating thing about growing cocoa is getting the seeds to germinate.
Afi Rebecca Eleblu lives in Atikoutonyi, right next to the school. "It's very convenient because I have five children. Three of them are in school, and the other two are doing an apprenticeship." Eleblu grows cocoa for gebana on her 3 hectares of land. She also cultivates beans, plantains, ginger and corn. "They're for the local market. I have a passion for trade, and selling my products is what I like most about my job as a farmer. On the other hand, the lack of control over water causes us problems. We are afraid of droughts."
Background
Between the Trees
If you're interested in sustainable agriculture, you'll probably come across the term agroforestry at some point. This concept has the potential to restore natural ecosystems while creating new sources of income for family farmers.
