Nib To Bar
For Beginners
A Brief Overview
Going nib to bar is the simplest entry into home chocolate making. The process still includes refining the nibs and mixing the ingredients, and learning how to get a good temper (and what a temper is!) for your bars. This can be less overwhelming for beginners and provides a quicker path to your first batch of homemade chocolate.
As you gain confidence, you may want more control over the flavor profile of your chocolate and need to learn bean to bar. But for now, Lets cover the basic equipment and supplies you need, then we will discuss the best way to get all these items ordered and ready to make chocolate.
Why Nib To Bar
- Ideal for beginners
- Requires less equipment than bean-to-bar
- Fewer steps and quicker results
- Great way to learn chocolate-making basics
Getting Started, What to buy and how?
With chocolate making it’s always a lot of simple steps done in the correct order and we’ve tried to make it as simple as we could with our beginners kit. However, there are still some details to figure out in advance. Let’s look at the options:
Cococa butter silk, and how to get it
Cocoa Butter Silk is pure magic. It helps you get a commercial quality finish, shine and snap for your craft chocolate without having to spend years learning marble slab tempering. It’s a game changer. The challenge is silk is destroyed and reverts back to regular cocoa butter above certain temperatures. We only ship it when we can be sure it will make it to you as viable cocoa butter silk. That presents a few challenges to ordering what you need, and may introduce more steps for you. So below are the 3 most common ways to proceed from here.

Every path forward starts with a good Melanger.
This is the most expensive part of starting chocolate. Melangers refine your nibs and ingredients into a smooth chocolate liqor, which is required if you want that beautiful chocolate mouth feel. This item must be ordered by itself. We’ve worked out a deal to save the cost of shipping to us, then shipping it to you—cutting the costs on this heavy item. Because of that it must be ordered seperately through our site. I’d recommend you go purchase your Melanger now.
