WILLIE\u2019S CACAO LAUNCH CHOCOLATE TASTING BOX<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Chocolate Discovery box: 10 artisan chocolate bars delivered
\nthrough your letterbox, 2 of which are Magnificent Creations not
\navailable in the shops. Perfect for Virtual Chocolate Tastings with
\nfriends. Available as a one off or on a monthly subscription.
\nWillie\u2019s Cacao is launching a unique Chocolate Tasting Box so people can do Virtual Chocolate Tastings at
\nhome guided by Willie Harcourt Cooze in Tasting Videos. You\u2019ll discover the beautiful pure flavours of
\nreal chocolate, craft made \u2018bean to bar\u2019 from some of the best single estate cacaos in the world and
\n100% natural ingredients. This can be done as a one off event or you can take out a subscription and do
\nit monthly. It is a wonderful way to bring family, friends and colleagues together to jointly discover
\nsomething new and to create shared experiences.
\nChocolate pioneer, Willie Harcourt-Cooze, has picked 10 of his artisan chocolate bars to go in his
\nChocolate Discovery box. Most exciting, is that these will include two chocolates from his series of
\nMagnificent Creations, chocolates Willie has made from particularly unusual ingredients or rare beans.
\n\u201cThis is my opportunity to share all the incredible chocolates I have experimented with over the years,\u201d
\nsays Willie. \u201cThese special edition chocolates won\u2019t be in any shop! You can only get them direct from
\nWillie\u2019s Cacao in my Chocolate Discovery Box.\u201d
\nIt will be a journey of discovery as you discover what is so special about \u2018bean to bar chocolate\u2019. Willie
\nwill make Chocolate Tasting Videos about each box that you can watch at Willie\u2019s TV on the Willie\u2019s
\nCacao website. They will be full of stories from his cocoa farm in Venezuela, of his visits to remote farms
\nand experiments in his factory. You\u2019ll learn the history of each bar and why he makes it like he does. If
\nmore than one household is doing it, each one needs a Discovery box, then all you need is for one
\nperson on the zoom call to be watching the video and sharing their screen.
\nLaunched on 9th October, in preparation for Christmas. Choose between a Milk, White and Dark
\nChocolate Box, or an All Dark Chocolate Box that is suitable for vegans and dairy free.
\nThe single boxes cost \u00a320 or a monthly subscription can be taken out for 3, 6 or 12 months. Both are
\ndelivered in a letterbox sized package so you don\u2019t even need to be at home.
\n3 month subscription: \u00a319.25 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
\n6 month subscription: \u00a318.75 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
\n12 month subscription: \u00a318.00 per month + Free Delivery + 10% off at williescaao.com
\nWillie\u2019s Cacao is known for the incredibly pure flavours of its chocolate. It is all craft made from the
\nworlds\u2019 great single estate cacaos and 100% natural ingredients. This takes up to 3 weeks, compared to
\nindustrial chocolate that is made in a few hours. Willie buys all his cacaos direct trade so the money goes
\nstraight to the farmers; being a farmer himself, giving farmers a fair return is at the heart of his business.<\/p>\n

Turn Back Time With The Retro Console<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turn back the clocks with this retro handheld console from Orb Gaming. It features a 2.2-inch LCD screen with built-in speakers. The cool console includes an amazing 200 8-bit games for nostalgia-inspired fun! Right, up, left, left, down, up. You know the score, it brings back the memories of those Saturday morning TV shows, where you\u2019d see games on the TV and have a chance of winning some mediocre prizes. Unfortunately for most children their parents wouldn\u2019t let anyone use the only phone in the house in case they got a call from a family relative. They never came and you\u2019d shout the instructions to the TV in vain.<\/p>\n

Not only is the console great to put to bed those deep psychological scares and years of pain, it allows you to play for hours on end, without having to change the game cartridge every time you wanted to switch games.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cheaper than the latest PS5 without the online queues and hype. Let\u2019s go all out it\u2019s cheaper than an additional PS5 controller, any game, online pass and best of all it needs NO WiFi. Crazy Talk.<\/p>\n

So go full-retro, switch off your WiFi, switch off your phone, write a note for the milkman, go buy a quarter of boiled sweets, lose a tooth and buy some 1p sweets and grab the retro consoler today. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t order through mail order, so will just need to use the WiFi one last time to head over to Urban Outfitters.<\/p>\n

Grab the console, grab your tin hat, unplug the WiFi and go retro! The Orb Retro Gaming Console costs \u00a316 from Urban Outfitters<\/p>\n
