Does anyone have a recipe for making chocolate syrup from beans? I have Hawaiian beans coming out my ears and need to make it into a product that can be stored. I want it to come out like a Hershey's syrup or thicker, liquid without heating.

Chocolate syrup is made from cocoa, sugar syrup and thickeners. There's no fat in it.
Properly fermented and dried beans can be stored for at least a year, a lot longer if conditions are ideal. Cacao mass (roasted and ground beans) can be stored for long periods as well.
To make syrup from your beans, you would need to grind them into cocoa mass, and press out the cocoa butter. Then, the cocoa cake that is left after pressing gets pulverized and then homogenized into the syrup. Not exactly a simple thing to do.
Why not just sell your beans to the people that are making chocolate in Hawaii?
