How I Make Primitive Maya Chocolate 

I loved making this video and I love primitive chocolate. I hope you enjoy watching this video. Thank you! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Me encantó hacer este video y me encanta el chocolate primitivo. Espero que disfruten este video. ¡Gracias!

Not only is this guy entertaining, he's also very educational, and that is something rare in these times. Buddy, if you're reading this, keep up the good work, i'm a huge fan!

Literally the best primitive channel to ever exist. 10/10

Chocolate is made in a similar manner in Jamaica...it is beaten in a mortar . Some people add pimento (allspice), nutmeg and cinnamon to it while it is being beaten. It is placed on a piece of banana leaf and shaped. To prepare the drink it is then grated and boiled in hot water and coconut milk and sweetened to taste. Add pinch of salt and strain....delicious

Long ago in school, I did learn about the Aztecs. I also heard that they used vanilla in their chocolate drink. This was very fascinating. Chocolate doesn't agree with me, so I can't have it. Those chocolates still look good. Cheers, Chad! ✌️

My hut was also turned into a chocolate factory this evening. Thanks Taco Bell.

There is no one like you. You are unique and a source of inspiration for so many who love nature to this deep level. big salute and love from your old fan from Pakistan!🥰

RU-vid is regressing (too much useless content) but Chad is a real find. 100% informative and also very exciting. Thank you for your efforts, Chad.

Hi! I am from Taiwan. I am Taiwan Indigenous. Since I saw your Wild Survival videos, I've been so hopeful in my live. Be an indigenous, we do also have a same situation, I can teach you how could we make use of the plant and fiber to hunt. Btw, you are super awesome! We love you. In the 2023, wish everything good for you!

Here in the Philippines.. We call it tablia... Its like chocolate without sugar.. And can be use for champorado... Love your work chad... Always be safe

The dead juniper tree isn't just the best hardware store in town it's also a state of nature exercising machine!

Love the tiny mold you made for the primitive chocolate bar!

Awesome episode and also I never knew it got that cold there. That’s crazy.

Love the work Chad, you never seem to disappoint me and everyone else. Keep up the great work and now I feel like some chocolate haha

Chad, I'd choose your primitive chocolate over Hershey's any day.

I really have an urge to sit in front of my wood stove and do something...maybe pound some sinew, or scrape my deer hide, maybe make TP from newspaper...but this whole working for the man thing really gets in the way of my primitive aspirations.

This was a really enjoyable and interesting video. I appreciate the long length that you generously edited this to.

I can tell your hands have been through a lot by the way they tolerate that heat! Great video. Just so happens making homemade chocolate has been on my mind these past few weeks.

It’s crazy how younger than 50 you look, like before seeing your 50th birthday celebration video I would have said that you were something like 35-42 years old

Chad you are the most underrated primitive survival RU-vidr, it’s a shame that other people that fake their primitive survival skills overtake your channel.

Wonderful marvelous Chad! Thank you so much!

Valentine’s Day coming up in February. A nice opportunity to make a video with a chocolate feats. Man I’m so jealous. Wish I had access to where you can express yourself like this in a wilderness

I absolutely respect and admire what you do. I’m very grateful you choose to share your experiences

OOO, you could also dip your prickly pear candy in the chocolate!! Woohooo!!

I love the content you create... thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. This is the kind of stuff that works when technology doesn't. Thank you for preserving and sharing "the old ways". Much respect from Alaska!

glad to revisit this place. Thank you for your video Chad

都有雪了还光膀子不冷吗？太令人敬佩了

Hey bro, firstly, I hope you've been keeping warm. It looks absolutely frdgid in the desert. Secondly, this is another cool video, I've never had the chance (yet) to eat raw cocoa beans, though I do have raw cocoa powder in my pantry, and it does taste as bitter as i'm assuming the beans are. Glad to see things are progressing at the hut.

Great video, I really love to see the history of the things we use today

I don't know why but watching you do what you love and teaching us something brings me quite a bit of joy and the magnificent and handsome Rufo. Thank you for recording and posting what you do its awesome also we need more rufo if possible :D. Thank You

awesome. No comparison, but I made acorn meal and acorn flour. Very laborious as well. Thank you for posting

I absolutely LOVE these videos mate - we've had a few days of 40 celcius plus down under and I've been waiting all year for your winter videos, they help my imagination wander off and sleep on the hot nights!! Awesome content mate keep it up, and definitely going to try this one myself!

Hi Chad, very cool, time consuming, but, cool. ;-) When you dropped the chocolate balls in the dish the sound was like pottery hitting pottery. Dense and heavy? A mold! So ingenious. Enjoyed, tc till next time.

Firstly thank you for pumping out the videos we all enjoy. Secondly as a side comment ive recently got into gardening at the worst time(winter😂) and wonder if you were open to planting crops for yourself. Im in SoCal and assuming you have similar climate. By far had most success with potatoes, pumpkin, and dragonfruit. Either way keep up the great content, always look foward to a new video!

Mayan chocolate? Never heard of this. Sounds delightful🍫

Oh bless your heart. I can't stay motivated when it's cold like that! Your primitive chocolates look good. I like bitters. I have an idea for you. I learned recently that jojoba is a desert native plant, native to Arizona and Nevada. It's used widely in skin and haircare products. Maybe you can make a primitive hair and skin oil.

Who needs Willie wonka when you could get your candy from “Chocolate Chad”!

I was kinda hoping that you would make chocolate coated prickly pear bar.

Las imágenes grabadas de noche, le dan al vídeo un toque mágico.

I've also heard cocoa and peppers are a yummy combination in meat dishes.

Have you considered building an adobe woodshed? One with gaps between the long bricks, glued together with mud only where they cross over by a few inches so that air can pass through from all side, forming a sort of gingham checkerboard look, and then roofed in bark of course. Even though there will be wind openings, the bricks as well as roof will help keep the rain off the wood even if the prevailing winds blow the drops at an angle (presuming the access opening is on the leeward side).

واقعا از دیدن این ویدیو لذت بردم بخصوص در هوای سرد.. چقدردوست داشتم در آن کلبه باشم...

Enjoyed watching the process!

I enjoy watching your videos, as it feels peace of living in primitive life.

What's better than ASMR ? A primitive ASMR, keep it up Chad!

thank you for everything man, we learned so many things from you and not only that but you also gave us a rough example of how life used to be ... I cant go and do the same thing you do, even tho it's my dream to spend a month in a woods or in any place where I can be with the world alone. I still have a lot to learn before I do the "same" but I hope i will learn more from you.

You have my utmost respect Chad, I so much enjoy your video's. Just amazing, keep up the excellent work. Thank you!

I love how you made hot chocolate. I think the Mayans also added chilli into it.

Chad Zuber and a Chocolate’s Factory 😂

As a cacao farmer it was funny to watch you process the cacao in winter weather. Here is tropical all year. Cheers for the video and information.

The 2 things uve made that I’ve wanted to try the most were the acorn pancakes n now the chocolate balls. Well done.

i would love to do this sort of thing, crazy inspiring! keep it up

Yumm! Those are some special treats😊 Love chocolate❤

I'm super happy about this episode food is not only there to keep us alive and healthy but in almost every culture we make celebratory food for sharing and bringing a community together. So should you get any company you'll have reason to celebrate and drink to celebrate

Beautiful. Great job!

Top notch work throughout, from the foundational levels to the refinements they have made possible for our host and his viewers who stand in awe and wonder in amazement.

I’m newly subbed. There is such beauty and purity in your chosen life 😊💛

Good to see you back at the old homestead. Chocolate 😋 yummy

Всегда приятно смотреть дорогого Chad Zube 😀👍

hi man, what you did is similar to a very common candy here in Brazil. Called "brigadeiro" And it is made of cocoa and condensed milk. You are nice!!!

Hi Chad, great video, very informative and interesting. Loved the chocolate bar and kiss.

Ooo looks fun. I've been busy surfing back on the sunshine coast australia at point cartwright with the turtles and dolphins. (BTW my favorite stretching is the take the pizza upstairs qi gong)

Looks really tasty Chad 👌 Yum!

Hola Chad! Use a pottery or anything else hollow for bees to collect honey for you and instead of sugar use honey and cocoa... You will find amazing this combination and since you will use both raw and clean materials this will act as the perfect chocolate and ingredience for your body...

This ain't Hershey!!! It belongs to Chad!!!!😇😃 Your hands speak. Your perseverance is on another level. God bless and keep going .

These videos are fabulous and very interesting Sir keep them coming please ...best wishes from Falkirk Scotland.

Man.. This makes me want to taste a piece of your hand-made primitive chocolate. hahaha! I don't like too sweet of a chocolate, either! So I bet your amount of sweets is just right for me! XD Great video, as always!!

Tengo una pequeña plantación de cacao en mi jardín,hice chocolate y la verdad luego de unos días las bolas de cacao se tornaron duras son buenas para rasparles al café caliente luego de endurecidas. Saludos Chad

I LOVE your vids. I always find myself making mental notes of things you do so I can practice when primitive camping with others who enjoy bushcraft. I noticed you like using the long oval rock on the flat surface, might I entice you to the idea of a mortar and pestle? I promise you it makes turning things into powders very satisfying and keeps all of the material in a safe bowl too! Stay warm and I wish you the best!! 💪❤👍

I recently bought coca pods with the flesh still on it. the flesh of the fruit was good. i tried to dry the beans/ seeds but i didnt get them dry enough and they molded :/ oh well i still have one more pod left

Muito inspirador, já produzi chocolate assim dessa forma, porém não ficou em pasta, mas sim em pó.

maravilloso!! yo siendo un adicto al chocolate me ha dado mucha gana de catarlo 😋 la verdad que eres una fuente de conocimiento hombre !!!! 👍 el que sabe lo que tú sabes pienso que puede sobrevivir en las circunstancias las más difícil , y además creo que lo has demostrado muy bien a través de tus vídeos !!!

Ich finde das sooo Toll lieben dank. Grüsse aus der Schweiz.😎

@Chad Zuber been watching your videos from the beginning man, always enjoy what i see and find them very relaxing, keep up the good work man!

Seus vídeos são uma obra de arte irmão da até vontade de ir para algum lugar parecido com esse e fazer o mesmo que você faz. Seus vídeos são inspiradores.parabems pelo conteúdo!

Chad 🧡

Now mix in some peanuts and caramel. You've almost got that SNICKERS BAR 😂

Certainly relaxing to watch your video. Thanks.

Well, that was awesome.

Very few people can do the work you do sir because today's model people are tied to luxurious life. No one wants to understand nature but you understand nature ❤️✨

Wow. That’s so cool!

You're really incredible...So much patience!

Chad creo que descubrí una forma de obtener hierro con carbón, tierra y arcilla la cual al mezclar, hacer esferas de esta combinación y calentar con un horno de fundición con un alimentador de llamas primitivos al sacarlas los minerales logran juntarse en pequeños fragmentos de metal con los cuales si juntas los suficientes puedes hacer herramientas como cuchillos, hachas, azadas entre otras cosas el proceso es bastante complicado y agotador pero se puede lograr, si no aun esta la opción de las herramientas de piedra: recomendación utilizar las que están en fuentes de agua y al impactar tienen un sonido agudo son las de mejor filo y resistencia

Thank you…only those who remember the old ways will live to see the future ❤

That was awesome primitive style chocolate making i seen

Que buen contenido! Hacer traducción a todo y eso te da más seguidores

Parabéns Pela Felicidade

Very soothing to watch

Thanks for doing another cooking video!

Parabéns chad admiro muito vc é o q vc faz,seu trabalho pra fazer seus alimentos nos faz pensar em como vivemos na cidade com as facilidades. Muitas vezes nos sentimos seres inúteis.

Yay I'm first! What do I win? Jk. I've been drinking my ka kau with ceyanne pepper n cinnamon to reduce the insulin spike. I'm trying this.

Me as a kid love your Vids so much, that I would make a book about it on my own:)

Very interesting how to survive under extreme circumstances.

in awe of your ability to put so much effort into this. i hope to find myself in a place where i can work just as hard

I wanna live this life, like for real! No human interaction, only living in the wild and minding my own business! Even if I die in the process I can be one with Nature in this way!

I can't say anything for this.... Just awesome!!!

This is horehound is medicinal , its name in my country is timirawt . It is beneficial for pain and fever when drunk, and it is also very beneficial when inhaling its vapor while boiled in hot water. Inhaling its vapor strongly and inserting the vapor into your nose is very beneficial for those who suffer from chronic headache pain❤

I really like the videos. This is an excellent channel. I watch every minute of the video with interest.

Great Video!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
