Life before filming
My whole chocolate adventure began with a small article in the local paper: ‘Chocoholics wanted’. It sparked a whole load of emotions relating to my passion for eating chocolate. Experiences before meeting Willie were based on a quick grab of a Mars bar to give a sugar boost, or a secretive devouring of a gold wrapped Ferror Rocher pyramid. I was soon to learn there was a higher quality, healthier option…
Our first gathering…
…was last September 08, on a sunny Sunday afternoon (a bit unusual for autumn!). I learnt so much about cacao, how it is grown, harvested and turned into the most rich, glossy, sumptuous chocolate. Willie cooked the most amazing barbeque with chocolate in the tomato ketchup. Heavenly!!!! Our session finished with ‘homework’, to go away and munch, cook, share lots of chocolate. Hey how things have changed from my last experiences of homework!!!!
One of the reasons why I wanted to join the filming of Willie’s Chocolate Factory was because I felt I could relate to Willie and his story of having a dream and wanting to develop it into a business. I, too, could understand his passion, drive and energy that he puts into his business. Never standing still, always wanting to evolve to another level. Juggling work with a growing family. Oh how true!
Well I am convinced…
…the whole dark chocolate experience. It begins with the outer packaging, unwrapped to reveal a lavish, gold foil wrapper. The ultimate heaven.

I keep seeing all this chocolate being made but where can it be bought?
where can i get willies chocolate from.
My Firefox will not allow me to view stockists of your choc. Please tell me who else is selling it in Lancashire as we do not have a waitrose close by. Thank-you. It looks wonderful and we are anxious to try.
I have been trying to buy this chocolate from Waitroes but cant get any, if it is so popular surely they need to stock up, I wait in anticipation.
