Default Can one grind roasted cocoa beans?

Mexican grocery stores often carry fermented,
dried cacao beans. You have to roast them
yourself, if you want to make the traditional
drink. They're pretty good unroasted, something
like a 99% bar.

They are kind of tricky to roast just right.
It's very easy to over-roast them.
