You can make your own chocolate. Get some raw cacao beans, roast it in the oven, break the shells, grind it to a paste, adding as much sugar as you like. Not the same as a bar, texture-wise, but pretty damn good. The first time I tried it was in Mexico at a chocolate workshop. The instructor got freshly roasted beans, ground it on a stone along with other ingredients that I got to pick - Sugar (common), pepper (uncommon), Star Anise (uncommon) and eat the buttery thick paste.
