Well that was pretty wild!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to Llanidloes yesterday for the Chocolate Festival.

As it was our first year of doing this, we really weren't quite sure what to expect - but I think we can safely say there are lots of chocolate lovers in Wales!

A huge, huge thanks to:
- the lovely chocolatey companies who took part in the chocolate market (Willowbean Chocolate Sarah Bunton - Welsh Chocolates Caerwent CRAFT Chocolate Brecon Chocolates Coco pzazz Andy's Bread & Natures Divine Oils)
- all the people who volunteered their time and effort and skills and venues to make the day happen
- the people who ran sessions and did talks and generally made it a really special day
- the organisations who helped fund it
- the people who came down to buy chocolate, support businesses in Llanidloes and take part in the sessions

We're already planning for next year as we gently grow the festival - but we know there are some things we'll have more of (chocolate!) and some things we'll change a bit.

But for now we want to celebrate a really special day and say diolch yn fawr to everyone who was part of it!

We are all prepared (I think) for the Chocolate Festival of Wales. Homemade light chocolate cakes made using ingredients from our shop, topped with amazing Tiptree Chocolate spread ( it’s like chocolate brownie in a spread) and what better pairing than our fresh fruit 🍓 and 🫐 and if the weather is pants 🌧️ we will have Clipper hot chocolate to warm you up, and if the big boss is not looking we may have a few samples from out fab new chocolate range. We have a mini apprentice chief taster helping out too (Lola) so come and join us for some fun and delicious chocolate 🍫
