Chocolate/Cocoa/Hot chocolate

[Irish_Pride]

I'm not sure if Chocolate has been submitted before. But I have a twist on it, if so!

So anyway. If Chocolate hasn't been suggested already. A normal tree. You would probably have to like..
1) Find a cacoa tree.
2) Pick the pods.
On a tree like this, but animated.
2.5) Plant cacoa tree using the pods.
3) Once tree fully grows, split open the pods to get the seeds.
4) Dry the seeds. (Or roast them, not sure which.)

COCOA BUTTER:
5a) Put the seeds in some kind of winepress.
6a) They transform into cocoa butter. Which can be applied to the skin. (From there there would have to be some benefit. Maybe another form of removing wounds, and increasing max HP. Or some dexterity buff.)

Chocolate:
5) Put the seeds in some kind of cheese rack.
6) They transform into 'chocolate liquor'
6) FINALLY, leave them to harden. And watch them transform into edible chocolate! (The chocolate increases stamina greatly, that gives a boost called "Sugar rush". Once the boost goes away, your stamina drains depending on the amount you ate. It also refills your hunger bar by some.)

Hot Chocolate/Cocoa:
Recipe: Cauldron with hot water. 1 Chocolate. Once the water turns brown, it's finished. Drink with a mug.
(Hot chocolate is a more amplified version of Chocolate. It gives the same stamina, has a lower Sugar crash, but doesn't refill the food bar.)

A VERY long process with okay product(s). Feel free to criticize, and share your ideas.

Cocoa products were suggested before. Some people will tell you something about slavic or ancient stuff (I think this argument is obsolete but they will).

It doesn't really fit in the setting, of course, neither does tobacco or pumpkins, so why not?

Sugar rush

-1

Not to mention there's not even any sugar in chocolate. Maybe if you mix it with honey.
(Sugar was a luxury good produced with sugar canes until the industrial revolution and sugar beet (then various syrups) factories made it more accessible. I wouldn't be opposed to introducing sugar though, provided it's as annoying to produce as black pepper. Could have the same effect but a wildly different production method. It doesn't fit the setting though.)

But chocolate as an aphrodisiac would be both historical and interesting... (how would that work? Jorb knows.)
