How exciting, I have just discovered it is National Chocolate Week! 10th-1th October will see chocolate addicts all around the country rejoicing (including me!) Bolton has plenty to offer in the chocolate department and I would love to hear where you buy your chocolate from, the best place to drink Hot Chocolate and who makes the most divine Chocolate Cake!

A few Chocolate facts taken from Walkers Chocolate Emporium Website

17,000 people in Belgium - that’s 1 in every 200 workers - are involved in the making, selling and promotion of chocolate.

One chocolate chip provides enough food energy for an adult to walk 150 feet. Therefore, it takes about 35 chocolate chips to walk a mile or 875,000 to get you around the world.

It takes the whole of one year’s crop from one tree to make half a kilo of cocoa.

66,000 Crème Eggs are made every hour.

1 in 7 15-24 year-olds claim life without chocolate is not worth living.

The highlight of Chocolate Week, Chocolate Unwrapped is a show where visitors can immerse themselves in a decadent celebration of chocolate. It’s a day to marvel at chocolate sculptures, watch chocolate cooking demonstrations and taste a variety of exciting new flavours, new chocolate, unexpected pairings and classic favourites from the world’s top chocolatiers.
