I Made Custom Chocolate Bars At A Chocolate Factory
Insertar
- Publicado el 20 sep 2023
- 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...
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!)

HELLO FRIENDS!! and welcome to my chocolate factory! thanks to the chocolate (gurus? coaches? captains?) at escazu for letting me take over for the day!! i had a blast taking on the art of chocolatiering - and i feel like by the end, i was even getting the hang of it? what did you guys think of our custom chocolate creations? and what should we tackle next?? xoxo, saf
Hey Safiya!! ❤️
Hiii I love chocolate so much so am glad you made this video ❤
OMG I SAW YOU AT VIDCON WHEN YOU SAID YOU WOULD POST THIS VIDEO LOVE YOU GUYS💕💕💕💕❤️❤️
Perfect video Safiya ❤ this derg loves chocolate, something we can agree is the best.
Ruby chocolate is everything!
Safiya is collecting careers like Barbie
Fr
She’s literally IRL Barbie 😂 except a Queen of the night, instead of Queen of the Blonds lol.
i would so buy a safiya barbie doll
@Thewaterspirit57goth barbie lol
I cannot wait for the astronaut arc
“ what’s this stuff? “ “ don’t chug it “ I love how that’s the first thing that she imagined Safiya doing
Ya, either she thought Safiya would do that or someone else has done it before already lol
I mean... Some people would
She must have seen Safiya‘s other videos 😂 Safiya does like to eat inedible things
i mean... that would be very safiya
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!
it was awesome to see the shop in action. i know a video doesnt give a full picture, but the vibes were very comforting and i hope they continue to grow their reach
I'm so glad there is people acknowledging their business, I didn't know much about them until I saw this video, it's just exciting to see people appreciate small businesses, especially this business because im sure they are amazing and their chocolates seem awesome :)
The fact that the whole Escazu crew seemed to spend the whole day giggling from Safiya's humor is so sweet (pun intended!)
No one replied…. Weird. Anyways, I just wanted to say your pun is amazing lol
Haha puns
Yes very wholesome they seemed to have a lot of fun.
Honestly watching Saf and Ty consistently build such fun rapport with everyone they collaborate with is so special! It's one thing to have curiosity and respect for what other people do, but another thing entirely to create such a friendly environment. Loved this video so much! xo
I swear these 30 minute videos feel like 5 seconds. So enjoyable to watch!
She’s the Willy Wonka to my Grandpa Joe 👴🏻
cuuute
Omg yesss 😂
That's a ship I'd get on board. :3
Not gonna lie. Thought this was a random person and got the ick.
😍💜🖤
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
Watching you take over random businesses for a day seems like something that should be on an actual TV network
She needs her own show she basically made one tho lol
Did you enjoy that really.... i think it was so cringe and hard to watch. They lost a fan... the level of disrespect i can not fathom
@francefister1194 girl what? Stop watching her then. Tf clearly you don't know how her personality is and she's not rude.
I like the fact that Karla is so patient and kind while teaching Safiya!
These women work really hard and they make art, really loved their work and energy ❤
They could totally use the air blast technique for white chocolate eyeballs at halloween, to do the red eye veins
i am so proud to see safiya not only helping a small business but a WOMEN owned LATINA business!
The chocolates were out-of-stock when I checked. How exciting for the chocolate shop!
TRUE
@this is meshe's some indirect influencer because her main goal isn't promote but ends up doing that anyway lol
Is saf part Latina?
@Justine S. Harrisoni believe she's half danish and half indian
First Boba, then candy, and now chocolate, Safiya is living the dream!
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.
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.
Safiya in like 10 years: I HAVE DONE ALL THE FUN JOBS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!🎉😂
Safiya emanates pure joy throughout every challenge she embraces--and i'm here for it
I love that Safiya is helping to support these small businesses that are local to her!
"competing against feastables for a day"
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.
Safiya and Karla sorting the small beans away reminded me of the Bournville ads where a small discarded cocoa bean would bawl after not being selected 😭
I love how safiya is nervous but still has her comical side about her. Love how you always have a smile on your face in every video
This series is catered to me, specifically - someone who loved the factory videos on "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" as a kid and "How it's Made" as an adult and has been a regular at a goth club for 16 years. Love watching Saf have a blast learning how things are made and trying new skills. She does it with such respect for the staff at each location as well.
That lavender chocolate bar sounds so good
Not only is saf showing off really cool careers and providing us with fun content, she’s promoting small businesses like a queen
OMG yes. Supporting small businesses AND showing off unique careers that may not always get media attention? LOVE IT.
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light"

She’s a queen 👸
I work at a local Belgium chocolate shop and it’s so fascinating watching everything come together! It’s a lot of hard work but in the end you made something tastefully beautiful!
Those bars came out BEAUTIFUL!! And I love the flavor ideas!
Your chocolate bars turned out beautiful!!! Very galaxy like 🌌
The Escazu crew was adorable!! Gorgeous chocolate results too 👏
Watching Safiya brings me back to food network unwrapped and I’m 100% here for it.
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
They got paid 😂 also I thought the sales would go towards charity or something, but no mention of it. So they're all just taking cuts? Usually these videos are in aid of something other than plain capitalism 😢
@b33p wow, that's a pretty cynical take. On the one hand, I see where you're coming from but on the other hand it's a small, latina-owned business that's doing well. What's the problem?
@b33pthey didn’t get paid, it says it in the description
@b33pall the profits are going to the small business, says in the caption that safiya isn’t getting profits (and also do you think a small business could afford a sponsor from an almost 10 million sub channel)
the chemistry between Safiya and all her capn's is immaculate
OMG! no wonder why these chocolates are expensive! Looong process and by hand!!! Holy moly 😅 but it is totally worth it 👌 👏👏👏👏❤️
Love how she gets along so well with all of the experts ❤
This looks SO amazing! Good job Safiya, you’re collecting careers like barbie 😂
seeing the support of a small business like this showing the hard work they put in makes me so happy to see them love their work even more. support small businesses!!!
Safiya is becoming our modern “How Its Made” gal
No one like her !😊
We definitely have very similar taste buds. I'm a huge sucker for marzipan (a warmed almond croissant? Perfection 😋) and herbal flavours. This video was making my mouth water. Keep exploring, Safiya!
helping small businesses being enjoying yourself is such a good thing of her:)
the ombre on the chocolate is to die for. it looks amazing.
I never comment on ESclips videos. But this one struck close to home. I've been watching you since 2017 or so. I am so happy that you choose a venezuelan owned busissness for this. From Danielle's vibes and joy to showing her work to the world. I am so proud that you had a chance to work with them in one of our cultural stapples like chocolate and the quality of venezuelan ingredients for it. This made me really happy :)
It looks like they're eating a galaxy! It's so beautiful!
i love how she’s supporting small businesses like it really shows how much she cares about people and their art
period and a women owned business purr 💅🏽
Repent to Jesus Christ “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

I love how these videos never feel awkward and everyone is just having a good time 🖤
Oooo the flavours seem really interesting- Australia has a really unique chocolate factory in Tasmania that essentially kept the OG cocoa bean alive and now sells specialised chocolate from it
This was very enjoyable to watch and the chocolate was beautiful
Saf is infectious and you literally can’t not love her by the end
Looks so delicious and I love all the steps and people involved! Everyone looks so happy🎉
I love that Safiya uses her platform to support small, women-owned businesses 🥰
I'm sure doing videos like this with people lets them look at their job with more fun. Love the chocolates!
I love lavender and chocolate so I'm super interested in lavender chocolate! Safiya is always managing to create things I love but have never thought of before!
Safiya is a funny and better version of “How It’s Made” and I love that
This is so cool! I’ve always loved chocolate. Learning how it’s made was so interesting. Your videos never disappoint!
I love this! My dad was a chocolateer, he loved making beautiful candy and chocolate for us and these are just gorgeous! I hope we see more of these epic behind-the-scenes
Love the galaxy theme!! Soooo pretty!!
That lavender chocolate looks so pretty and tasty!
So much work put into each chocolate! Very cool to see the process
I love how Safiya chose a local, small business.. truly proving she is the best bean 🥹💛
Love that too, what a delight to meet the women running this factory too ❤
Safiya always cheers me up. I go straight to Safiya because I have the same type of humor as her!
That looks SO GOOD and so fun!!! I definitely entered!!
That chocolate looks delicious 💙💙💙
It was so cool to watch ❤ they all seemed really nice and sweet and the purple lavender ombre looked gorgeous 😍😍
I love how you are always finding joy during rough times!
I appreciate her supporting small local businesses rather than just going to some large factory. So many local places struggle to stay open so the exposure is amazing.
Loving this video series! It looks like such a fun and tasty job!
Everything looks so good, and so much fun to make!
This was such a delight! As a lavender fan, I definitely need to order some of those!
the almond and black tea flavour sounds so delicious 😫 wish i could try it! 💖 this was such a fun video, i love when Safiya does these store takeovers!!
They're so pretty! It all looked so fun and tasty
Love how humble and funny Safiya
👍
website is good
Yes
good
👍
It's so fun to see "local" places that are actually local to me! Yay Escazu!
Experiencing Safiya's youtube channel feels the same as experiencing the vibe of an olive garden. The same sort of chill background music and neat voice over and whatnot, especially in comparison with other channels familiar on here.
I could really go for a new episode right now! 😩
YESSS
Those are so beautiful! Looks like so much fun! I bet it’s an amazing place to work and visit!
Great flavor combos. Loved watching the entire process start to finish, rather than solely the decorative parts.
I think the most impressive part of these kinds of videos is just how naturally Safiya and Tyler make friends with the people they are working with! They are both so respectful , warm, and willing to learn!
The businesses - especially this chocolate one - clearly really like them and looks like they had a fun day filming.
I love her vids so much!!! That chocolate also looks so yummy 🤤
This was such an awesome video! I love these behind the scenes looks at different professions.
I swear Safiya could be my experiment teacher
My pastry chef heart loved this video. 💚😂
This so great! As a soap maker you did good!
in every videos like this you can see how charismatic and likable Safiya is. Owners always start a bit awkward but start to open up and be more comfortable as the video goes on!
She could easily indoctrinate me into a cult
@Jarbinckslmao true
Saf has this laid back yet goofy vibe to her that seems to get everyone to relax whenever she's around.
Saifya is kinda like barbie because of the jobs she has mastered but it’s food
this is super satisfying to watch and mouth watering
Those turned out beautifully. I’ve been tempted to try making filled truffles, but after seeing everything that goes into it I’ll probably just leave it to the professionals.
Your custom chocolate creations look pretty cool.
it’s been a little while since i last watched your channel, but i see why i subscribed in the first place. love to see the support of a small business and how fun it was for you to create your own chocolate.
The chocolates look amazing ❤
Okay but it’s actually so cool to see how chocolate is made and how safiya is supporting this small business 🥺🥺
Why are you sad? 🌻
They look incredible 😍
I love watching you and ur husband doing all these great videos you 2 r awesome thank u for being you
as a chocolate lover of all chocolate this was a magical experience to watch lmao!!
They look so good!!!
These are so pretty! I love these kind of collabs! Bummed I didn’t see this video until they were already sold out on their website. Def picking up some of their other treats though.
Safiya singled handedly combating the “young people just don’t want to work anymore” trope
So cool and loved the idea of lavender and vanilla, two flavors that are so good together! I think next time you try making your own perfume that matches your chocolate bar (Lavender and Vanilla)! If you have already done something like this or this exactly, sorry I must have missed this one. I love your content, humor and your adventures you share!
I love how excited she got when she said her temperamental joke
I just got my candy bar from Escazu and it's really good! You did a great job picking the flavors for it, Saf! And it's so pretty! Wish I could get another but they're always sold out every time I go to their site lol at least I got to try one though!
i remember learning how chocolate was made in an educational trip to costa rica, it was an experience ill never forget
Aww I love the energy of this whole vid, genuine laughs all round we stan
