Provided are a method for manufacturing chocolate and a device for manufacturing chocolate that have superior production efficiency in molding and cooling steps and can achieve the provision of a plurality of molding and cooling lines in a small space. The method for manufacturing chocolate (excluding, here, a method for manufacturing that carries out mold transport) includes: a first molding step for molding chocolate stock solution on a first conveyor belt a second molding step for molding chocolate stock solution on a second conveyor belt provided in a stage above the first conveyor belt and a cooling step in which chocolate is obtained by passing the chocolate stock solution that has been molded on the first and second conveyor belts through a plural stage conveyor belt type cooling device through which at least the first and second conveyor belts can pass, and cooling and hardening the same. The first molding step uses a rotary molding machine having a rotating roll in which a plurality of openings that can discharge chocolate stock solution are formed in the surface to mold the chocolate stock solution into chip shapes on the first conveyor belt.【課題】成形・冷却工程における製造効率に優れ、かつ、省スペースで複数の成形・冷却ラインを設けることが実現可能なチョコレートの製造方法及び当該製造方法により製造されたチョコレートを提供する。【解決手段】第1のベルトコンベア上でチョコレート原液を成形する第1の成形工程と、第1のベルトコンベアの上段又は下段に設けられた第2のベルトコンベア上でチョコレート原液を成形する第2の成形工程と、第1及び第2のベルトコンベア上で成形したチョコレート原液を少なくとも第1及び第2のベルトコンベアが通過できる複数段ベルトコンベア式の冷却装置内を通過させて冷却固化させチョコレートを得る冷却工程とを含むチョコレートの製造方法。【選択図】図1
